March 5 - 13 Joint Forces Dance Company
28th Annual Contact Improvisation Jam and Conference

Special features of the 28th annual event will include performing, live music and the “all-nighter”. Contact Improvisation is a dance form of communicating, experiencing and relating through physical contact between two or more people. Basic skills such as falling, rolling, sharing weight and moving with momentum encourage a freedom of expression and communication unique to the form. Dancing ranges from simple to complex, depending on experience. It is an accessible form in which people of all physical abilities can meet on equal ground and explore the movement possibilities that exist between them. An international gathering, the Jam is open to all experience levels and includes facilitated warm-ups, open dancing, conference sessions (topic to be announced) and performance evenings. Pre-register early, this event fills quickly.

Alito Alessi is artistic director of Joint Forces Dance Co., based in Oregon.
