Scottish CI Calendar

After repeated suggestions from Penny, Alasdair sets us up with other contact improvisation communities in Scotland, including the Edinburgh CI community, to put together and keep up-to-date a calendar of dance improvisation and contact improvisation events across Scotland. You can find our new Scottish CI Calendar at:  https://theglasgowjam.blogspot.com/p/scottish-ci-calendar.html  

What is Contact Improvisation?

If you have never done Contact Improvisation, you can get the feeling of what it is through this beautiful video our jammer Kieran Shannon put together. Rigour, awareness, presence, play and lots of fun!

Hello Everyone, Welcome to the post-winter era! As the snow finally stops falling, we hope that the only falling that happens for a while will be of bodies in the jams (along with rolling, flying, and ALL THE MOVES!) as we all start to come back to life a little more each day...;-) We had a fantastic workshop with Tony Mills in March. The clarity and precision of Tony's approach helped unravel the mystery of the hips in CI and helped us to fly. Super big thanks to Tony and to everyone who came ;-)  And we have more attractions coming our way. First of all, the upcoming jams, with an exciting variety of locations and practitioners! As always please note the times and locations as these do vary. Here's our schedule leading up to the summer break (July/August): JAMS: 28 April (Saturday) 10.30-14.00 CCA / Theatre: Special BIG Jam with Nina Enemark and sound by Zoe Katsilerou. There will be more space to move so join us in spreading our spring wings and spread...
