In this special workshop, we will take time to expand our Contact Improvisation duets by adding one or more additional partners. We will explore how to play, ground, and fly with one partner, and then how these principles shift and evolve when dancing in trios and other group formations.

Most dancers are accustomed to working primarily in duets, where weight, momentum, and movement pathways are shared between two bodies. When an additional body enters the dance, new layers of listening, timing, spatial awareness, and responsibility emerge, inviting us to constantly adjust, balance, and re-organize our choices.

Building on the rich experiences of previous editions, this workshop aims to deepen our understanding of multi-body dancing as a playful, dynamic, and creative extension of the form. As one participant beautifully described it – “all the cool stuff you can add to a jam.”

This workshop is intended for dancers with some experience in Contact Improvisation through to very experienced practitioners.
