The London Contact Festival 2026 returns to Goldsmiths, University of London for a three-day celebration of Contact Improvisation. The festival centres on an intensive track with Mary Prestidge, Thomas Kampe, and KJ Holmes — three generations of UK and US CI lineage — exploring the form's roots and current edges. Afternoon sessions feature a constellation of guest artists including Laura Doehler, Akeim Toussaint-Buck, Bryn Thomas, Kate Brown, Annie Edwardes, Eryn Rosenthal, Heath Pennington, and Simonetta Alessandri. The programme includes labs, discussions, and evening jams with live music. Open to all levels. Organised by CI Goldsmiths.
