Contact Improvisation (CI) is a form of dance / movement based on physical principles of touch, momentum and weight sharing. The practice of CI is an open exploration in which 2 (or more) participants meet - through points of contact, senses and impulses - to engage in an act of dialogues.
“Listening” through touch and proprioception, each participant learns to evolve under the influence of individual sense of time, space and energy. Eventually they tune in into the co-existence of rhythm and flow contributed by momentum and weight sharing.
CI Jam is an open platform for such practices where being present and responding in the moment is the key, as is learning and respecting each other’s capacities as well as limitations.
Research purpose:
- Practice on Contact Improvisation jam is the process of expanding my own exploration while sharing through movement.
- To promote Contact Improvisation as an art form where communication and connection can be found through focusing and movement

「接觸即興」（Cl）是一種以身體接觸、動力與重力互換為基礎的舞蹈/運動形式。 由2位（或以上）的參與者，從接觸點、感觀及信號進行對話，揉合彼此的意向，共同探索。
透過「聆聽」觸碰及本體感覺，每位參與者也從中學習，並在自我的時間、空間和能量中演化，與群體動力及重力互換的節奏共存，達至身與意合，物我兩忘。
CI Jam是個實踐、切磋及互相學習的公開實驗平台， 自身當下的察覺和敏銳的回應至為重要，尊重彼此的能力和限制也不可缺少。
研究目標：
- 接觸即興的練習、 實踐與互動，是引領我更深入探索的過程， 亦藉藝術實踐與他人分享。
- 推廣「 接觸即興」這種以 專注與舞動達致溝通及連結的藝術形式 。
研究內容及方式：Jam-談、談-jam，jam-談-jam…..jam-jam-談…（ 總之，圍繞jam和討論或純粹的jam）
歡迎志同道合的舞者和有興趣接觸CI的新朋友參與。
