About: A special evening of dance which expands the pre-jam class part of the evening to include physical theatre improv and other movement forms as warm-ups, which naturally led to expanding the dance jam. Contact jams, as you may know, are often silent or with low-key music. Our jam offers a range of live and DJ'ed music. A conscious space for dancing creatively to music from around the world, in an affirming, welcoming environment.
The scene: Dance Odyssey is a truly unique container. We have teachers come in from all over the country, as well as a rotation of local teachers, for our opening warm-up class. Our teachers draw from a variety of improv movement forms, including contact improv, expressive arts, authentic movement, butoh, axis Syllabus, theater improv, and others.
