Join us every Thursday at Berkeley’s historic Finnish Hall for the largest contact improvisation jam in the Bay Area. Since 2013, we’ve been a vibrant, community-run space, where newcomers and experienced practitioners explore this dynamic movement form.
A different teacher offers class each week from 7-8p. The jam (8-11p) features a dynamic soundscape, blending silence, DJ’ed tracks, and improvised live music. Both the class and jam are offered by donation, with no pre-registration required.
See our schedule for an up-to-date listing of teachers and musicians. Newer to contact improv? Other questions? Check out our FAQs page!
