We are preparing 6th edition in Algarve to which we invite everyone to participate. Contact Improvisation, initially a hybrid of Aikido and gymnastics , we want to emphasize this aspect of disciplinary and cultural mixing, melting and converging characteristics of most practices offered .

The workshops include the hybridization of related approaches from Contact Improvisation , Butoh Dance , Action Theater, Yoga, Tai Chi, Feldenkrais, Ayurvédic Massage, Shiatsu Massage, Body-Mind Centering, Authentic Movement, Tango, and Biodanza, 5 Rhythms, Gypsy Duende, and more. The Jams are open to everybody’s participation, a call for trans-disciplinary experimentation, including motion -dance- sound - voice - chanting - picture -drawing - photography – video - interactivity.

The initiative from CI Lxjam aims to stimulate the exchange of and access to improvisation through the collaboration between professionals and structures dedicated to these therapeutic, creative, and artistic practices in multiple strands. We also want to promote the interplay between zones, spaces, organizations and people, embracing several places, publics / populations throughout Lisbon and beyond towards fostering cohesion and inclusive dialogue with common purposes of openness and creative sociability.
