@TheGlasgowJam

Founded in 2013 with Tom Pritchard, and run from 2016 with Laura Gonzalez, @TheGlasgowJam is Glasgow's multi-disciplinary arts jam scene. @TheGlasgowJam has encouraged people from all walks of life to come play and jam through contact improvisation. This lead to not only teaching and facilitating the form, but also to exhibitions of art work created during these jam times.
