Registration

The Spring into Spring JAM in Bellingham is a Contact Improvisation weekend hosted by Carmen and Rajendra Serber, featuring a special workshop with Delia Brett. We are lucky to have Soleil Chappelle, Peggy Protz, Michal Lahav and Eric Mulhern as additional facilitators. Music by Serge Gubelman and surprise guests. Optional Farewell Dinner in our home on Sunday after the JAM.

Join us to practice Contact Improvisation with the inspiration of classes, scores, labs, music and of course jamming. We are invested in creating a welcoming and safe container while also inviting the experimental nature of a radical community process.

Workshop with Delia Brett

One, Two, We

Listening Through the Body — Gravity, Core & the Expanding Field of Relationship

One, Two, We is an all-day Contact Intensive exploring listening in solo, duet, trio, and group forms. We’ll work with gravity, the deep myofascial core, and the physics of weight-sharing to cultivate grounded, electric flow. How do we expand without losing ourselves? How do we stay connected to the whole — even without touch? This class is both practical and devotional, rooted in decades of improvisational practice and offered in tribute to the lineage that shaped it.

Longer description and bio

⊙ The Underscore was developed by Nancy Stark Smith in the 90's. It is a spacious experience shared by the participants which can spark surprising kinesthetic and compositional improvisation and Contact Improvisation within this defined framework.
