Contact Camp has been both a group project for sharing Contact Improvisation on the playa and a place to stay and share community for Contact Improvisers.
This past year (2008), Contact Camp was home to 50+ contactors from around the world and hosted two classes a day in Contact Improvisation Fundamentals plus special topic contact classes, classes in other body-studies, and the daily Contact Jam at Center Camp … a unique Contact Jam that takes place in the midst of the hustle and bustle of an active town center.
