1) Workshop for families with kids 7-11yo
Contact Pool for families invites children and their parents to experience the magic of movement. CI can provide children with tools and skills for personal and independent development. It explores imagination, flexibility, coordination, agility, balance, humor, and attentiveness to a broad range of sensations. CI encourages channeling different emotions into a physical experience in an atmosphere of freedom and the joy of being active. It strengthens the child’s sense of competence.

2) Open class of Contact Improvisation (from 16 yo)
Contact improvisation (CI) is a form of improvised dancing that involves exploring one’s body in relation to others by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, touch, and movement awareness.
The goal of workshops is a better understanding of each other’s bodies by extending sensitivity and self-awareness. With the pure joy of the body in motion, we will explore our consciousness by investigating ideas like gravity, connection, points of contact, constant observation, risk-taking, falls and landings, lifts and throws.

3) Contact Impro Jam (open for all)
Jam is a dynamic and open form of practicing contact improvisation. Sometimes the space of the jam is filled with music and sometimes the dance takes place in concentration and silence. The characteristic feature of Contact JAMs is freedom. You can start or end the dance at any time, or decide to participate in an observer role.
Price: This part of the program is free if you have attended the Open Class of Contact Improvisation. Otherwise 100 NOK
