About this Event

We will explore themes of weight-sharing, counterbalancing, signaling, listening, and everything in-between.

Join The Castro Room for a playful evening of contact improvisation. This class will be taught by Cathie Caraker with live jam music by Daniel Berkman. The event is hosted by Merrick Jacob.
A guided pre-jam class will be from 8:00 - 9:00p and then will flow directly into a jam until 10:30p.
In class, we’ll explore themes of weight-sharing, counterbalancing, signaling, listening, and everything in-between. The jam that follows is an opportunity to continue researching your movement & relational curiosities that sparked from class. First-timers and experienced dancers are all very welcome!
