This mini-retreat offers a chance to engage in two days of contact improv jams, with opportunities to experience the Sarus Festival for Site-Specific and Experimental Art (see full festival schedule: https://sarusfestival.weebly.com/festival-schedule.html), while allowing free time to lounge and play on the beautiful Wrightsville Beach or explore Wilmington’s historic downtown. 

​

Accommodations and food are not included and must be acquired individually by participants. 

 

As part of the Sarus Festival's mission to showcase site-specific and experimental work that fosters community and exposes people to new art forms, the latter part of Sunday’s jam will be open to public viewing and will include a post-jam discussion with audience members (jammers are welcome to participate in the discussion).
