Moment by moment, day by day week by week...
This Saturday 11-1pm invitation to practice the "Underscore" and hold space together to practice the score as an "out of contact" Improvisation.
If you are interested please read on.
We have our hall with beautiful grounds outside that we can extend into and use. It will extend some of us to practice in this way, I hope you will be curious as that is all you need, curiosity and your senses and a willingness to participate.
If you have never practiced the underscore you need to read a bit, even if you have you may want to deepen what you think you know about each phase.
It will help the Saturday Jam if we all arrive on time, if you come late and miss "the arriving" you know what to do just join the practice. Remembering that this is non contact underscore
A lot of groups around the world are doing stuff on line these days. This Sat if you feel to try this Improvisation together, please take care and be respectful. Magic still happens at a distance.
Please don't come if you are unwell, please wash your hands before starting. Contribution for the Jam space is $10/$8

Ci Jam is on again tomorrow with a lead in by Emma Newman. Emma has been dancing CI for a long time and is back in the area living in Lismore these days. With Emma's lead in we will be easing into explore taking and giving weight, listening to other's bodies, feeling gravity, to move into sharing movement.
The lead in is not a class but a way to help the room drop in together and wake up group awareness.
11am to catch the lead in... Jamming goes till 1pm.
$5 contribution
St martins Anglican Church Hall, Stuart Street, Mullumbimby
Also for two more Saturdays 9 - 10:30am you can do Curious Body classes at WeMove.studio. And get well primed for your weekend or the Jam with Kimberley McIntyre.

we are practicing the Underscore tomorrow 11-1pm
Please arrive at 11 as arriving is part of the score.
The score is simple and all encompassing. If you have never practiced it or don't know what it is take the time to watch this video with Nancy Stark Smith. It's very insightful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzG609NWp1Y&t=472s
