We host open drop-in Contact Improvisation classes in Umeå and also offer workshops for organizations, schools, festivals, companies, and community groups.

What is Contact Improvisation?

Contact Improvisation is a dance form in which two or more people create movement together through physical contact, shared weight, and balance. Through playful, guided exercises, we explore collaboration, communication, trust, and creativity. From subtle movement impulses to simple lifts and acrobatic elements. Everyone participates according to their own abilities and experience, making the practice accessible to complete beginners as well as experienced movers.

Each workshop is led by two professional facilitators based in Umeå, creating a safe, attentive, and supportive environment where everyone can participate at their own pace.

We offer flexible workshop formats:

• 1 hour – An introduction to Contact Improvisation

• 1.5 hours – A deeper exploration with more time for practice

• 2 hours – An immersive workshop with extended exploration and reflection

Workshop fees:

Workshop fees depend on the length of the workshop, location, group size, and the specific context.

We are happy to discuss different possibilities and create a tailored proposal that suits your needs.
