Contact Improvisation will be the common ground to continue and deepen our skills to come into a physical and kinaesthetic dialogue with others. In solo's, duets and in larger configurations, we will strengthen the awareness of our sensory input and sensibilities in improvising. By developing an awakened, alert and articulated presence in our dancing, we will strengthen our abilities to create dances that are imaginative and playful. Dances in which we can expect to be in physical contact at any moment and at the same time keeping an awareness of ones own direction in improvising. Five days of dancing, music and theatrical improvisations at the Palazzo Caravajal Simoncelli, venue of the ALEFdanzaateatro Productions Company.

$55 prereg by Jan 9; $80 after
$155 both workshops prereg by Jan 9; $210 after

As long as I have been performing, I have been improvising. instantaneous or real-time composition is an ongoing artistic process for me for over 25 years now. It comes back to the basic need to move and express ideas and emotions through the vehicle of our body and mind. Through exploration in improvisation, Contact Improvisation, and chance procedures, we will practice instant inventiveness, refine our sensing skills and develop compositional strategies, which will become the framework for composing solo, duet and group material. A deliciously deep warm up will entice us into this world.

Moab in the spring time is a magical place. Have you ever seen the desert in bloom? Typically you can find dozens of different flowering cactus and other wildflowers in just a short hike. The air is soft and dry and the bright sunshine typically radiates the perfect warmth at about 75-85 degrees. It's the ideal place to come and enjoy lots of dancing and exploring in the desert.

New to this year's Jam is the Workshop, just before the jam. It's an omygod! Exploratorium in Contact Improvisation with Carolyn Stuart, Bryce Kasson and Johanna Sodermark. The 4 days will use a simple investigative process to embody and integrate the principles of the form, on and off the dance floor. If you are new to contact improv, this is a great way to prepare yourself for a jam. If you are experienced, this is an opportunity to refine your skills and share what you know with others.

For the Jam and Workshop we will dance at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center. It has nice hard wood dance floors and tall windows that let in plenty of bright sunshine. The group will car-camp at a campground nearby town.

For the Campout, which is right after the Jam, we will camp at the same place as last year, just outside Canyonlands National Park next to Indian Creek. Check out the beautiful pictures on the website. From our campsite we will take day trips to dance, hike and explore the nearby waterfalls, narrow water-carved slot canyons, grand mesa overlooks and red-rock mazes. Plus, this year Carolyn, Bryce and Johanna will be continuing the practices of the omygod! Exploratorium during the campout and welcome your participation.

Saturday, May 11, 1:30-5:30 Beginning/advanced beginning
Skills of listening to and developing movement from the contact point with a partner, pouring and receiving weight, sensing breath and the internal body, letting momentum give us a ride, moving from center and core, falling, rolling. We will deepen into this foundation as we trust and move our impulses. For beginners and those with experience.

Sunday, May 12, 1:30-5:30 Mixed level
Working developmentally, we continue our research of movement with a partner in the physical forces of gravity and momentum. States of groundedness and buoyancy will bring us into explorations of supporting, flying, and moving from a spherical center. Staying open moment to moment to sensation, feeling, imagination and our environment will bring presence and exciting dancing!

In this three city, three weekend, six day workshop, we will investigate our relationship to ease and waiting. With games, some sweat, adn the unique phsicality of the Contact form, we will savor and rock the boundaries between states of allowing and mindful intention. This investigation will lead us into dancing that invites flight and surges of adrenaline as it refines our palette for savoring the subtle delicacies and complex flavors that exist beyon the realm of striving. This workshop is open to all who have a solid grasp of contact fundamentals. Those who attended and contributed so much to the /Time of Your Life/ workshop in 2001 are especially welcome to continue the inquiry.
