We’re delighted to announce...
* * * * * THE FALL JAM * * * * *
Boston’s fifth annual autumn contact improvisation dance weekend October 8 and 9.
Join us for a relaxing and fun weekend of dance and community.
Details below, and at our website:
http://www.geocities.com/contactimprovboston
Directions to the Masonic Hall are on the website (if you
can’t access them on the Fall Jam page; look under May Jam
— it’s the same location!)
As usual, the jam will include lots of yummy food (breakfast and lunch both days), plenty of dancing, a live music improv jam Saturday night (with musicians Molly Flannery and Reinmar Seidler) and led warm-ups both mornings.
All levels of contact improvisers are welcome to this event.
Special notice:
This year, we’re encouraging our community members to add five or ten or twenty dollars to the registration fee, with the proceeds to be divided between the Earthdance Building Fund, Contact Quarterly. These are two institutions that are critical to the improvisational dance community and which are both in need of funding right now. So you can come and dance *and* do your part to support Earthdance and CQ!
HERE ARE ALL THE DETAILS:
Saturday - Sunday, October 8-9, 2005
- Saturday 10am-11pm Start the day with brunch; we’ll do an opening circle and a warm-up, then dance all day... (with a break for lunch, if you want.) -* Saturday evening: Explore Porter Square and find a nice place to have dinner with new or old friends, then come back to dance some more!
-* Evening improv jam open to public / 8 to 11 p.m. / $7-$10 (included for weekend jam attendees). Music will be provided by Molly Flannery and Reinmar Seidler sharing jazz piano, cello improvising, and various and sundry other musical accompaniment to your dancing!
- Sunday 10am-5pm More yummy food, followed by a warm-up and open dancing all day, with lunch in the middle...
-* Sometimes we add music or a group score into the mix... let us know if you have suggestions.
Since "it takes a village" to make a jam, we’ll ask for your help in serving and cleaning up meals, and both set-up and clean-up of the space. Thanks in advance!
