For structure, we have a Focus Jam or Score Jam* 3 times per day Morning Session: 10h Afternoon Session: 14h Evening Session: 19:30h Visit the website for specific schedule of themes and facilitators... https://www.bodyresearch.org/leipzig-contact-improvisation/winter-focus-jam/schedule/ Each session is 2 to 3 hours. Morning and Afternoon have closing circle. Evenings are open ended. Around that, people could use the space as they like. The event will be for people comfortable with classic contact improvisation of weight sharing and physically engaged mutual mechanical exploration, though we could drift in different directions from there. Everyone should be comfortable finding and exploring their own curiosity and comfortable with the mostly non-verbal process of starting, joing, leaving, and ending dances in a convivial context where we can safely assume that everyone is similarly curious. Themes: Foci may include Round Robin format, exploring and deconstructing the Underscore, working with fusion of Authentic Movement and CI, integrating bodywork into CI Practice. There will be a mix of sessions with and without music. Perhaps we could also do a skills and lifts lab if people want to mix some training into the more open explorations. * A Focus Jam is a contact jam that starts with a shared focus or theme, introduced at the beginning through discussion and/or exercises. A Score Jam is a contact jam with additional rules or restrictions... a "score". -- Other Logistics: Food: Keeping the costs down, we would be on our own for food, though perhaps we could organize some potluck gatherings together. Place to Stay: People can stay in the studio if they want/need. If you need it, say something in the registration form.
