WELCOME
Join us every Thursday at Berkeley’s historic Finnish Hall for the biggest contact improvisation jam in the Bay Area. Since 2008, we’ve been a vibrant, community-run space, where newcomers and experienced practitioners explore this movement form. A different teacher offers class each week from 7-8p. The jam follows from 8-11p, featuring a dynamic soundscape that blends silence, DJ’ed tracks, and improvised live music. In the upstairs space from 8-10p, there’s often additional CI programming (labs, scores, classes, screenings, etc). Thursday Jam is run by community, for community. In the spirit of generosity, everything is offered by donation, with no pre-registration required. For up-to-date listings of teachers, musicians, jam hosts, and upstairs programming, see our schedule. Newer to contact improvisation? Other questions? Please check out our FAQs page! You’re also welcome to email us at contact@thursdayjam.org – we’d be happy to hear from you. There are also many other CI classes, jams, and workshops in Berkeley and the greater Bay Area!
