Welcome

The Thursday Jam is an open contact improv and movement space offered weekly in Berkeley from 8pm until 11pm. Before the jam, from 7pm until 8pm, there is an all-levels contact improv class.

Both the jam and the class are offered freely and no pre-registration is required. For more info about how this works, please see our FAQ.

Our schedule has an up-to-date listing of upcoming teachers and musicians.

The jam offers an inclusive environment that is warm, friendly and very welcoming of folks new to Contact Improv. There is a varied soundscape with a mix of silence, DJ’ed tracks, and improvised live music.

The jam happens every week except for the occasional holiday cancellation. To keep up-to-date with news (including upcoming teachers and musicians), please check our schedule or sign up for our low-traffic mailing list.

Please feel free to email us with questions or suggestions at contact@thursdayjam.org – we’d love to hear from you!
