We'd Love to Hear Your Opinions, Memories, Suggestions, and Yes Even Complaints!
We’re excited to announce that CI +/- is returning for its 3rd year at La Verne's Village Ballroom (same place as last year, just new name).
From June 8–12, 2026, we’ll gather in Portland for a week of Contact Improvisation, Somatic Exploration, and a culminating evening Performance.
Whether you danced with us last year, heard about it through the grapevine, or are just discovering CI, we’d love for you to join us and be part of this evolving and expansive festival.
Mark your calendars — come be part of five days of classes, jams, and creative discovery. All levels and backgrounds are welcome.
See you on the floor,
– the CI +/- Advisory Team (Emily G, Nathaniel, Mim, Vania, Kris, Leslie)
Portland has a vibrant and growing Contact Improvisation community; we now have events happening nearly every day of the week, from jams and classes to special workshops and community conversations.
Starting this season, we’re hosting a new monthly class series at the Baker Building! Each session features a different teacher from 6–7 PM, before our weekly Thursday Night Jam. Whether you're new to CI or a longtime dancer, these classes are a great way to deepen your practice and connect with others in motion.
Check out our ongoing calendar to find what’s happening near you.
