Contact improvisation classes and jams are held every Saturday at Moving East in Stoke Newington. All levels of experience are welcome and booking is not required.

Simonetta Alessandri will teach the next three classes, Saturdays 7, 14 & 21 January:
We will start with movements based in the Feldenkrais Method which aims to develops a detailed physical awareness and open new movement possibilities. Establishing a clear connection to our own bodies allows us to enter into contact with others with confidence, awareness and precision. We will playfully engage with the more technical side of contact improvisation: giving, receiving and sustaining weight at different levels, developing the ability to relate to space and rhythm and alternating between activity and passivity.
