LAB/JAM w Anne Cooper
Friday, May 30
6:45 - 9PM

A minimum number of participants is required for this activity to run. Please resister in advance. Once we meet our minimum, drop-ins at the door are welcome.

A facilitated warm-up brings us into a time of practice and inquiry in our contact improvising, facilitated by Anne with inquiries or interests coming from the group. We will work with the inquiries in small groups, which leads into a jam for 45 minutes. If you are brand-new to Contact, please come to a few CI classes prior to this.

Please arrive early to sign-in. We will start promptly at 6:45PM.

If you have questions about attending, please email us at: info@edamdance.org
