DC Global Underscore 2022

Ken is cancelling the DC branch of the 2022 Global Underscore that he was going to lead. We did not have sufficient enrollment, and Ken would prefer to invest energy in other jam and Underscore stuff.

The Sunday jam's monthly Underscore will continue on the first Sunday of each month as usual.


What: The DC branch of an Underscore session conducted simultaneously at numerous locations around the world.

When: June 25, 2022, 10:00 am–2:00 pm. The GUS organization will hold an online talk-through on June 18 from 10:00 am.

Where: Dance Loft on 14, 4618 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20011, in the main (theater) studio.

Cost: $20 or less, depending on enrollment. We'll divide studio rental cost among us, up to but not more than $20 each.

What's an Underscore? An Underscore is like a more organized jam:

  • It's an ensemble improv "score" - an improvisation framework- with a foundation in Contact Improv. It involves a clear, intuitive progression and many elements similar to those of a jam, but with a more organized progression and focus.

  • For details about the Underscore see Our Monthly Underscore page.

COVID Considerations: Vaccination required, masking will depend on DC and CDC recommendations at the time.

Organizer: Ken Manheimer, ken.manheimer@gmail.com. Contact me if you have questions or suggestions!
