Dear Jammers,
Well, in some sense, the end is upon us, and in another the start is drawing close. We are currently preparing to change jamming hands to Monika Smekot and Nina Enemark... so do stay tuned in for celebrations and also beginnings. Dominic Snyder has also had a fantastic exhibition at The Glad Cafe, selling several pictures at the opening... but if you missed it - it's now packed up.
There are but three jams left with Penny and Laura at the helm. December 17th will be Penny's last jam after FOUR years of running with both Tom Pritchard and Laura Gonzalez so sure to be a lively one!
Also in December, Penny is off to Tehran, Iran to volunteer teaching a two day CI workshop, and then into the first women's capoeira event in this country. There is an Indiegogo campaign if you'd like to help, or even share on social media (although writing "Dance" everywhere on Facebook would not be overly helpful - "movement" is a more appropriate term on this one!!). Penny has also been asked to write again for Contact Quarterly on her experiences to share with the wider movement community.
Jams below including our special one at the beautiful studio at the Beacon
See you jamming soon,
Penny and Laura xx
