About this event

East Coast Jam — 5 days of Contact Improvisation in West Virginia. One of the longest-running CI jams on the US East Coast, held twice yearly since 1987 at Claymont Court Seminars and Retreat Center in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, about 1.5 hours from Washington, DC. The jam-focused event includes participant-facilitated warm-ups and CI-related activities, open jamming, and an evening of performance. Features a beautiful octagonal barn with a large dance floor and a smaller space in the mansion, shared lodging, luscious vegetarian meals, a wood-fired sauna and spring, wide vistas, and lots of beautiful spaces to explore. Capacity: up to 50 participants.
