Ontario Regional Contact Jam 2020

Three days of contact improv in three large sun-lit studios. Amazingly
economical if you register by January 31 <https://orcj.yapsody.com>.

This year’s three-day contact improv jam runs Saturday, April 4 to Monday,
April 6. This is the weekend before the Easter / Passover holiday weekend
(so the Monday is a work day). Doors open at 9 am each day, and we dance to
midnight on Saturday and Sunday, 5 pm on Monday. Once again we are at
Canada’s National Ballet School, 400 Jarvis St <https://goo.gl/jbkDGO>, in
Toronto.

You pay discounted prices if you register in January ($100) or in February
($120). You pay full price in March and April ($140). Registration will
pause after Wednesday, March 25, ten days before the jam, and reopen at the
event itself.

People registering up to March 25 have access to the delicious catered
food, which is three lunches and snacks. At-the-door registration gives you
everything except lunches and snacks. If you wait to pay at the door, the
caterer won’t have brought food for you; please plan to bring food or eat
out.

We encourage participation in the whole three-day weekend, but you may also
register online or at the door for any combination of mornings (9-2),
afternoons (2-7), and evenings (7-12). Each segment costs $30; there are no
early discounts.

Register now at orcj.yapsody.com. If money is an issue, email Charlie at
ontjam at contactimprov.ca: we’ll easily work something out.

As we head towards 300 attendees, it helps us plan if you register early.

Programming Team

Laurie Davis and Celia McBride are curating and facilitating again this
year. One of their many goals for this year is to leave more space in the
program for open community jamming.

Welcome to Toronto

About half our attendees come from out of town, and we hope to offer free
lodging to as many as possible, on a first-come first-served basis. We are
confident that we will be able to find spaces for everyone who registers by
the end of January. We will continue to accept requests until the end of
February.  If you have a spare floor or couch, please tell Dmitri at
orcjhousing at contactimprov.ca.

Thanks to the exchange rate, you can attend the ORCJ for just $77 US if you
pay in January.

Toronto is an easy trip <https://www.rome2rio.com/map/New-York/Toronto>
from the US Midwest and East Coast.

Every Body Is Invited

We welcome new dancers, non-dancers, people of all ages, sizes and shapes,
gender identities and sexual orientations, colors and cultures, mental and
physical configurations.

New to contact improvisation? We’ll have a total-beginner class on the
first morning. (Included with the weekend; $30 for just that morning,
including both the class and time for jamming.) Following the morning,
participants can choose to attend more of the weekend.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, including common areas, dance floors,
and washrooms. Studios and washrooms have manual doors, usually kept
propped open. For those who request attendant care, ASL translation, or
have other accessibility requests, please let us know as soon as possible
to increase the likelihood that we can make arrangements.

Food is vegan with gluten- and nut-free options. Contact Olya at
olyaglotka at gmail.com with any food requests or questions.

best include you and others?
