West Coast Contact Improvisation Jam

This year's theme is ~Lineage & Collective Futures~

Our intention is to honor the history of Contact Improvisation, lean in to mutuality and collaboration, and vision future iterations of this community festival. Following the recent loss of key dance ancestors— Steve Paxton, Nancy Stark Smith, Jess Curtis, and many others — we feel called to give thanks for their profound contributions, reflect on our own practices, and pay it forward to future dancers.

wcciJAM (formerly WCCIF) is the longest running CI festival in the world. It has always been a grassroots effort: by dancers, for dancers. This year, miniWCCI will be a time for people who love Contact Improvisation to come together to look backwards, share in community, and commit to building skill, care, and equity at CI jams and classes in years to come.

Join us for miniWCCI this year? Tickets are available :)

My favorite Photo of Steve and Nancy. I can’t believe we have lost them both. My Dancestors. How much they gave us! An infinite game of Presence. My deepest bow, forever inspired and so so so very grateful.
