We’re delighted Katy Dymoke will lead a group warmup into our next Contact Improvisation Jam on Thursday 14 November, 6-9pm at the CCA, 350 Sauchiehall Street.
Together with Katy we'll revise the fundamentals of Contact Improvisation: the centre of mass, over/under dancer dialogue and more...

Katy is a distinguished dancer, movement psychotherapist and program director of Body-Mind Centering® (BMC) training in the UK and Ireland at embody-move.co.uk. With a strong background in Contact Improvisation and a deep connection to the pioneering work of Steve Paxton, Katy seamlessly intertwines her expertise in somatic practices to create transformative experiences through movement, touch, and artistic expression.
Contact Improvisation explores the possibilities for movement with a partner or a group. It uses a natural flow of weight, momentum, as well as more subtle connections through touch and the other senses. The form encourages groundedness, listening to one’s own body and other bodies, while connecting to the physical environment in relation to gravity.
A ‘jam’ is a collective improvisation of creative movement, voice or musical instruments. All levels of experience are welcome. An open space to improvise, using tools built up in classes/workshops and our individual practices. They are places to play, connect, express ourselves and explore through movement. People may dance by themselves, in duet, in larger groups, or simply observe.
Participants assume all risks involved in participating in a session with The Glasgow Jam, and release The Glasgow Jam from any liability for their safety. In a jam, participants are responsible for themselves at all times.
Children under 14 should be accompanied by an adult.
We endorse and follow Jam Guidelines and tips for beginners outlined by the London CI@Goldsmith community:
