Year 19 of Contact Improv Fest
The WCCIF gang is gearing up for the 19th Annual West Coast Contact Improvisation Festival June 29 - July 4th at the 8th Street Studios Compound in Berkeley. This year's festival, organized by Karen Campbell and Kim Harmon, comes complete with a theme-- "Deepening the Experience," and features a variety of classes with creative emphases like "Soft and Not so Soft" and "Yes/No/Maybe".

Classes offered over the five-day workshop will focus on three areas of exploration: performance, somatics and community, and dancers will have the opportunity to showcase their movement research in daily performances and jams lasting late into the night.

According to Campbell, the focus on theme will allow for "natural connections between classes, performances, jams and discussions." To register, visit wccif.com/registration, call (415)789-7677, or email contact@wccif.com.
