29th
Annual Breitenbush Contact Improvisation Jam!
Hello friends,
We hope you can come to the Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center in
Detroit, Oregon.
The dates are March 4th-March 12th, 2010.
We'll have open dancing on a great wood floor, be surrounded by
multiple hot springs and a steam house that will soothe your muscles,
and be nourished by three vegetarian meals per day.
Cabins are shared in this Mount Jefferson Wilderness Resort. $660
includes the room and board, the Jam, and a Conference, with the
facilitator to be announced. $780 will include all of the above, plus
a bathroom in your cabin.
The $125 non-refundable deposit is due by February 8th, and the full
balance is due by February 22nd. Spaces fill quickly so send in your
deposit well before February 8th to guarantee a spot.
Cheaper and half-time options: A limited number of 'dorm cabins' are
available with 4 beds per cabin instead of the usual 2 or 3 beds per
cabin. These are $530 all-inclusive. A limited number (usually about
five) half-time spots are also available. (We do have to match up
first-half attendees with second-half attendees. This usually works
out fine but the earlier you reserve by sending your deposit, the
better.) Cost of half-time attendance: if you are in a regular cabin,
it's $345. We can't guarantee placement for half-timers in cabins with
bathrooms or dorm cabins, but we can try. Half-time dates:
'First-halfers' attend March 4th to lunch-time on the 8th.
Second-halfers attend afternoon of the 8th till the 12th.
More details about the Jam: You choose when you want to be in the
studio; everything is optional. There will be about 5 conference
sessions that will be facilitated, facilitators yet to be announced.
There is lightly facilitated Contemplative Dance Practice each morning
for early risers, before breakfast. Each morning after breakfast there
is a short warm-up led by people who sign up. Most evenings there are
performances by people who sign up: 10 minutes max, 40 minutes maximum
total. Visit our
Breitenbush page at our website. From there you can also read reflections on the 2006
Jam by 25th anniversary attendees Ray Chung, Nancy Stark Smith, Danny
Lepkoff, Steve Paxton, Karen Nelson, K.J. Holmes and Scott Smith.
