Underscore Jam – Contact Improv/WSCC

August 21, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

$15
You are warmly invited to an enlivening evening of Contact Improvisation this Wednesday, August 21st from 7-9pm in Regent Square.
This Wednesday will be practicing the Underscore – a unique way of creating cohesion in the group dance. ALL levels welcome! 🙂
The Underscore is a free-form, co-created experience where you are guiding what happens with your curiosity, agency, and choice – no exercises or guided warm ups, lotsa emergent jam time!
For this session, we will be tuning in on the dynamics of invitation, consent, agency, and safety to create a trust-building environment.
If you’re feeling curious, here is a video about the origins and nature of what has come to be known as “An Underscore”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOGLMZdm2uA

As we engage in exploratory partnered dance, you are encouraged to check in with yourself and honor your needs in the moment, whether that means engaging with a partner(s), dancing solo, or witnessing.
Please DM us on this channel if you have ANY questions, concerns, or special needs 🙂
Warmly,
The Pittsburgh Contact Improv crew!
