Dear
Jammers,
Can
you feel spring is finally near? Nature is beginning to open and now
is the time to awaken every cell in your body by moving it!
Laura
started her new job at the Conservatoire and is organising a
symposium on self-care for performers at Glasgow University of the 5
March. An interesting topic close to contact improvisation too. How
do you take care of yourself in your daily life? @TGJ, we move
mindfully, of course. It works!
February
jams were led by our very own Penny Chivas and her collaborator Sara
Bizzoca from Italy. Such a joy to get to share their explorations.
And
yes, you guessed it, we are planning a jam as part of Dance
International Glasgow. We even have more amazing news: Robert
Anderson from London Contact Improvisation will be facilitating it!
We are so lucky! Save the date: Saturday 6th May, 11am–2.30pm at
Tramway. Watch this space for more details.
Adam
Benjamin, founder of Candoco and well-respected improviser will be
leading an International Integrated Dance Summer Intensive at
Plymouth dance. Treat yourself! Details are on this link:

Remember
our friends in Edinburgh are also hosting fantastic workshops in
March with Alicia Grayson. We have attached a flyer with the
programme. Book soon as places are going fast!
Below
are our jams in Glasgow, links to other dance classes in Glasgow as
well as jams in Edinburgh. Lots going on; make sure you are part of
it!
