The class is for beginners and those wishing to deepen their technical and theoretical knowledge of contact improv. No experience required ♡ No exercise is compulsory, and you may decide not to take part in certain or adapt them to suit your needs and limits of the moment
What do we mean by chosen mixity?
This jam is not open to cis men. Contact improv is a dance form that involves physical proximity and a level of bodily intimacy which can make us feel vulnerable. With this chosen mixity, we aim to create a space where trans, non-binary, non-gender conforming people, and women are more likely to enjoy an increased sense of security while practicing contact improv.

A FEW INTENTIONS FOR THIS EVENT:
～ Creation of a safer space within the Montreal contact improv community to encourage Queer folks and women to connect through their bodies and touch by eliminating certain factors that can trigger fear and insecurity
～ Creation of a space for connection, and for being present to oneself and to others, by the use of movement, dance and playfulness
～ Providing ourselves with the opportunity to explore contact improv dynamics in a manner that is more fluid and less binary such as heavy/ light, strong/weak, active/passive, leader/follower, etc…
～ Exploration of contact improv as a dance form that allows us to practice consent (verbal & non-verbal) with ourselves and others
This class is happening in the context of the Moment Collectives project:
