Falling Leaves Jam

About this event

Falling Leaves Jam at Earthdance — four days of Contact Improvisation in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts (October 22–26, 2026). The 2026 edition marks 40 years of Earthdance and carries the subtitle "A Community Visioning Lab for Earthdance's Future" — weaving the regular jam format with collective reflection on the past four decades of this CI community. Earthdance is one of the US's most storied residential CI centres, situated on a rural property in Plainfield, MA. The Falling Leaves Jam is an annual autumn gathering in the informal jam tradition: participant-driven, open-form, with no fixed curriculum. Days revolve around jams in the main barn, sharing meals and time in the landscape, and informal exchange. Guest teachers and CICO hosts are announced closer to the event. Accommodation and meals are included in the registration fee. Sliding scale pricing. Registration details at earthdance.net.
