Join us for a Sunday of dance and contact!
"Just the pleasure of using your body is, I think, maybe the main point. And the pleasure of dancing with somebody in an unplanned and spontaneous way..."
Steve Paxton
Contact improvisation is an open, improvised dance involving 2 or more bodies, with physical contact as the main mode of communication. The dance includes rolling, falling, being upside down, following a physical point of contact and giving weight to a partner. Dance partners often move in and out of physical contact, flow together, and improvise while mutually supporting and following each other's movements. Sometimes wild and athletic, sometimes quiet and meditative. It is a form of dance accessible to all bodies and inquiring minds.

✨Sunday February 8th Steven Campos and Lotte van Boxtel: Response-ability in Contact Improvisation✨
Our aim with this workshop is to keep developing movement and relational intelligence. We will use structure as a gateway to freedom. Be ready to explore fundamental elements of CI practice like falling, shared weight, momentum, and gravity, and — through clear frames, scores, and task-based games — train attention and adaptability, strengthening our ability to respond and express in dance, individually, with others, and in relation to your environment. We invite you to research and have fun with dedication, embracing a seriousness that is also playful!
✨Steven Campos and Lotte van Boxtel✨
Steven’s approach to movement is influenced by years of bodywork and embodied research through practices like CI, capoeira, yoga, dance, and even agroecology. As a teacher, he brings lightness and playfulness alongside strong dedication and commitment, creating spaces where movement is studied and explored with attention, intention, sensitivity, and care — a kind of fun that is also serious.
Lotte's connection with CI is deeply integrated into her living work in osteopathy. She is a curious researcher of movement and health, exploring with playfulness, precision, and care, constantly finding inspiration in practices like climbing, partner acrobatics, yoga, and dance.
✨Open for all levels of experience ✨
There will be coffee and tea, bring your own small snack for during the break. And after the jam there will be a potluck. Everyone will bring something to eat, to share, and so we will have a delicious picnic where we can have a nice chat.
Important! Early bird tickets are on sale until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday night before the event. So buy your ticket on time! Tickets are non-refundable, but you can sell your ticket to someone else who wants to come. Please let us know who took your ticket.

Kom langs voor een zondag vol dans en contact!
“Ik denk dat het plezier om je lichaam te gebruiken misschien wel het belangrijkste is. En het plezier om met iemand te dansen op een ongeplande en spontane manier...”
Steve Paxton
Contactimprovisatie is een open, geïmproviseerde dans met 2 of meer lichamen, met fysiek contact als belangrijkste manier van communicatie. De dans omvat rollen, vallen, ondersteboven zijn, het volgen van een fysiek contactpunt en het geven van gewicht aan een partner. Danspartners bewegen vaak in en uit fysiek contact, flowen samen, en improviseren terwijl ze elkaars bewegingen wederzijds ondersteunen en volgen. Soms wild en atletisch, soms rustig en meditatief. Het is een vorm van dans die toegankelijk is voor alle lichamen en onderzoekende geesten.
