Welcome to the Sunday Jam - a Contact Improvisation dance jam 

The Sunday Jam is a collaboration between Kontaktimpro Stockholm and Studiefrämjandet.

At the Sunday Jam, we first kick things off with a guided one hour warm-up. During this time an experienced Contact Improvisation dancer will facilitate some exercises where we explore basic Contact Improvisation principles through dancing solo and in physical contact with others. This helps us to warm up our bodies and tune into each other and the space. 

After the warm-up, we follow with an open jam! 

(A “jam” is an unguided/open structure where we practice moving and improvising together, shifting between solos, duos, trios, or larger groups. You are free to enter or leave a dance at any time and can also observe from the side). 

About Contact Improvisation 

Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dynamic movement form and dance practice where we move in and out of physical contact with each other. Together we explore following gravity, weight, and sensation to create evolving flows of movement characterized by unpredictability, which sharpens the reflexes and opens up for enigmatic, playful interactions. In Contact Improvisation, listening and responding to one’s self, the space, and other people is key in fostering non-verbal communication, trust, and responsiveness. 

Contact Improvisation evolved in the context of experimental postmodern dance and performance practice in the 1970s in the USA. It has since expanded beyond its original contexts and is now practiced by diverse communities of movers across many parts of the world. 

Good to know 

This event is open for everyone with a curiosity to dance in and out of contact.  You don't need any specific movement experience to join, just curiosity and an open mind. 

Dancing, observing and being in the space are all part of the jam. To keep the focus on the dance, talking and socialising takes place outside of the dance studio in our couch-corner and kitchen. We dance barefoot (or with socks) in comfy clothes that you can easily move in. 

We have a group of experienced Contact Improvisation dancers who will take turns to guide the warm-up and hold space during the jam each week.
