Saturday Contact Improvisation Class & JAM in Chiang Mai

🌀 CI Saturday Class + Jam 📅 July 25 – with Ong Pholchai 🕑 Class: 2:00–4:00 pm 🕑 Jam: 4:00–6:00 pm 📍 Rong Sa Dang, Chiang Mai --------------------------------------- Warmly welcome to our Saturday Contact Improvisation class and jam: "Blind Together" is an approach of CI developed by Ong together with a Thai blind dancer, Toffee, to address blind accessibility and inclusion in creative movement practice. The practice engages movement from the sense of listening, touch, trust, care, support, echo-location, voice, imagination, and adaptive leadership. If dance history and dance communities would have emerge from the perspectives of the (very diverse) blind, what would they be? . --------------------------------------- About Contact Improvisation – Definition, Community & Jam Guidelines: https://tinyurl.com/aboutcontactimprovisation --------------------------------------- Chiang Mai Contact Improvisation Whatsapp Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/J30qWXMKgXiDAwyTRF4Z9W?mode=hqrt2 --------------------------------------- ONG/Spine Party Movement is a movement artist, researcher, and educator working across somatics, disability justice, and art–science inquiry.
