Queer/Femme Jam
with Juliette Gomes and Miranda Busansky
Filling in a greatly felt gap in the western Mass Contact Improvisation (CI) community, the Queer/Femme Jam meets on the first Friday and fourth Monday of every month, and is for women, nonbinary, trans, and queer embodied movers. We will create an intentional container as a community for rigorous CI inquiry while incorporating a critique of the dance form and traditional CI spaces/culture.
The Jam will foster embodied and somatic movement exploration through a two-hour container consisting of an opening circle, a small movement offering into open jamming, and lastly, a closing circle.
What to bring:
- Comfortable clothing, preferably long pants and long sleeves with no harsh buckles, buttons, zippers, or other features that will get caught on or hurt other dancer.
- Water and a snack for after class.
- Most importantly, bring yourself and an open heart.
Sliding-scale pricing: $10–$40*
*Please reach out to inquire about BIPOC scholarships and other financial assistance.
