Join us every Thursday at Berkeley’s historic Finnish Hall for the biggest 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 from 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. For up-to-date listings of teachers and musicians, see our schedule.
