Global Underscore 2023 Jam in Utrecht

Summer has started which means this weekend we can dance the Underscore simultaneously around the globe. And this year you have the opportunity to dance the Global Underscore together with us in Utrecht! The Underscore, a long-form dance improvisation structure created by Nancy Stark Smith, incorporates Contact Improvisation (CI) into the broader arena of improvisational dance practice. The Global Underscore (GUS) centers around a yearly event in which the Underscore is practiced simultaneously during a 4-hour period by dancers all over the world near the summer solstice (northern hemisphere).
