Dear Jammers,
As some of you may be aware, we (Laura Gonzalez and Penny Chivas) recently made the decision to step away from directing the work of @TheGlasgowJam. We would like to publicly thank everyone who has supported us during these years, Four for Penny and two for Laura. We would also like to offer our appreciation to Monika Smekot and Nina Enemark who are stepping in and up to guide the direction of @TheGlasgowJam from January 2018. Whilst there will be time over the next few months to both celebrate the achievements of @TGJ and welcome in this change of dancing hands, we make this public now so that 2018 can begin to be shaped and directed by these two capable dancers. Stay tuned!
This month, we had a fantastic 3-day workshop with the internationally renowned theatre maker, mover and all round wonderful practitioner Nicolas Nuñez from Mexico. Those of us who were there know how life changing it was and we hope to work with him again sometime. We also opened Dominic Snyder's exhibition at the Glad Café (continuing throughout October, see attached flyer). Dom is the artist behind the @TGJ. We STILL have our jams planned until December, with a couple of special events!
Next jam is with Nina. Her class andjam will be part of the programme of events for Luminate Festival, Scotland's active ageing festival. To welcome newcomers to the form, this session will feature a longer class of 1.5 hours and a slightly shorter jam. See more information here: http://www.luminatescotland.org/events/theglasgowjam-class-and-jam
More jams follow below, including Penny's LAST jam as co-director of @TheGlasgowJam (yes, it really has been four years!), as well as our special @TGJ in Greenock at the Beacon!
Hope to dance and see you soon,
Penny and Laura xx
