Dear Jammers,
What an amazing way to return from
the lull of the summer months. We are back in full swing! Nina led a special
workshop for Indepen-dance as part of the
Gathered Together festival in
early September. It was very well attended and huge fun. We had jams with Brian
and Penny. Penny is leading the classes in September, October and November, so
this is a great chance to deepen your knowledge and learn some of the
techniques she perfected in her study with Nicolás Nuñez and Julyen Hamilton.
We have been busy organizing
Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot’s visit in November. Anne-Gaëlle is a very experienced CI
practitioner and we are lucky to get some time with her to perfect skills and
find new ways on moving. It is also an opportunity to connect with the wider UK
scene! Grab your spot now. All the details of the workshop are below and you
just book by emailing us theglasgowjam@gmail.com. It is only £40 for a day with this amazing dancer!
Watch this space for announcements
of our new January to June 2017 programme which will be coming out soon.
We are also sharing details of our
jams for Glasgow, as well as links to Paul Henry’s regular Butoh classes in Glasgow.
We also want to make you aware of the great work of our jamming partners in
Edinburgh and London.
Hope this newsletter full of nice
plans made you as happy as it is making us!
Penny and Laura xx
