DESCRIPTION: We welcome dancers from Toronto and the surrounding area to join us on December 22nd and 23rd, 2022 at the National Ballet School to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Contact Improvisation. This 50th-anniversary jam aims to be a dance-focused exploration of Contact Improv’s past, present, and future, featuring classes, workshops, and open jams. All types of bodies, identities, and levels of experience are welcome in this wheelchair-friendly and access-focused space. Teachers will be local from Toronto and surrounding areas to create a festival that has a low carbon footprint. A BIPOC affinity dance jam and a disability lead access-focused dance jam are part of the programming. 2.5% of all fees collected will be donated to the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto in honour and support of the process of reconciliation. We are offering sliding scale rates to increase financial access. There is also a facilitated community visioning session and an underscore to celebrate Nancy Stark Smith.
