Third Place Malaga

🇬🇧 Welcome to the vibrant world of Improv Theatre in Málaga!
We focus mainly on short-form (game-based) improvisation—think Whose Line Is It Anyway?, where we create scenes, stories, and imagined worlds through a series of fun, fast-paced mini-games.

Here's an example of how the pros do it

🎭 Two hours of laughter & creativity every Sunday!
🌍 Bilingual & inclusive – We primarily play in English, but Spanish makes an appearance too, depending on the group.
✨ No experience needed – Everyone has a creative spark waiting to ignite!
🔥 Every session is also a mini class!
You'll not only play and perform but also learn the fundamentals of great improv—what makes a scene work, how to build compelling stories, and how to shine on stage. No deep theory, no technical overload—just fun, practical insights to help you grow while playing!
Immerse yourself in a welcoming community where spontaneity knows no bounds and unleash your inner performer. Ready to jump in?

📢 Limited spots! Please only RSVP if you genuinely plan to attend so we can manage the group size.

# ✨ CI Tune-Up: Explore & Learn Contact Improvisation ✨

(Español abajo ⬇️)
🌿 What is it?
A regular Contact Improvisation (CI) Tune-Up — a short, focused space, like a mini class (or mini laboratory), to explore, learn, and practice CI in a safe and supportive environment.

Example of a CI jam:

Description in Spanish:

💃 Each session, a unique movement pattern will be introduced by the facilitator as an offer. Participants can:

• Try to master the move ✨
• Collaborate and support each other 🤝
• Troubleshoot movements they’re working on 🔄
• Or simply practice their own flow 🌊

👉 The idea is to experiment and sharpen your tools before stepping onto the dance floor at the jam that follows. Unlike a jam, here we break the rule of silence — talking, interacting, and stepping in are all encouraged.
🛡️ Safety first! Half of the studio’s floor will be covered with tatami mats for higher-impact exercises and riskier moves.
💸 Cost:

• 7€ for the Tune-Up only
• 5€ if you also attend the Contact Jam afterwards (19:30)

📝 Bonus: Sign-up list opens every Monday. Anyone who signs up on this day gets early/preferential signup for the jam afterwards.
📍 Where: Espacio Bohemia, Málaga
🕒 When: Sundays, 18:45–19:15 (bi-weekly for now, may become weekly with demand)
🙌 Open to all — no need to attend the jam to participate. Drop-ins welcome!

Don't miss our regular Contact Improvisation jams on Sundays which are weekly (also available on meetup on the Third Place profile)

# ✨ CI Tune-Up: Explora y Aprende Contact Improvisation ✨

🌿 ¿Qué es?
Un Contact Improvisation Tune-Up regular — un espacio (como una mini clase o mini laboratorio) enfocado para explorar, aprender y practicar CI en un entorno seguro y de apoyo.
💃 En cada sesión, el facilitador presentará un patrón de movimiento único como propuesta. Los participantes pueden:

• Intentar dominar el movimiento ✨
• Colaborar y apoyarse mutuamente 🤝
• Resolver movimientos que les cuesten 🔄
• O simplemente practicar su propio flujo 🌊

👉 La idea es experimentar y afinar tus herramientas antes de pasar a la pista de baile en el jam que sigue. A diferencia de un jam, aquí rompemos la regla del silencio: se puede hablar, interactuar y participar activamente.
🛡️ ¡Seguridad primero! La mitad del suelo del estudio estará cubierto con tatamis para los ejercicios de mayor impacto y movimientos más arriesgados.
💸 Precio:

• 7€ solo para el Tune-Up
• 5€ si también asistes al Contact Jam después (19:30)

📝 Bonus: La lista de inscripción abre cada lunes. Quienes se apunten ese día tendrán preferencia en la inscripción al jam posterior.
📍 Dónde: Espacio Bohemia, Málaga
🕒 Cuándo: Domingos, 18:45–19:15 (de momento cada dos semanas, con posibilidad de ser semanal según la demanda)
🙌 Abierto a todos — no es necesario asistir al jam para participar. ¡Ven cuando quieras!

No te pierdas nuestras jams regulares de Contact Improvisation los domingos, que se celebran cada semana (también disponibles en Meetup en el perfil de Third Place).

🇬🇧 Join us for an open, explorative space where movement becomes a language of connection, trust, and expression. Contact Improvisation (CI) is a dynamic dance form based on shared weight, momentum, and deep listening to yourself and others.

This is jam, which means it's a space to learn and practice the artform.

🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸 Bilingual Space! SE HABLA ESPAÑOL! Most participants speak both English & Spanish, and guidance is available in both languages. 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

🇪🇸 DESCRIPCIÓN de que se trata una jam de contact impro EN ESPAÑOL :

Each session is a chance to:
🤲 Develop presence & body awareness
🌊 Explore fluid movement & weight-sharing
💫 Cultivate trust, spontaneity & creative expression
🔄 Experience the joy of physical play & improvisation

No experience is needed—just an open mind and curiosity to move!

### 🔄 Jam Format

Our Contact Jam is an open movement space with minimal structure—designed for free exploration, creative play, and spontaneous movement flow.

We begin with a gentle warm-up to tune into the body and the space, followed by an open jam where you are free to explore movement solo, with partners, or in groups. Whether you’re rolling, lifting, spiraling, or simply observing, you decide how to engage.

Some guiding principles:
✨ Listen to your body—move as much or as little as you like
✨ Follow momentum, gravity & shared weight
✨ Stay aware & responsive to others in the space
✨ Respect boundaries—contact is always an invitation, not an expectation
✨ No set roles—no leader, no follower, just movement unfolding in the moment

We close with a short integration—a moment to breathe, settle, and land softly after the movement journey.
Every jam is unique—come as you are and move as you feel!

Example of a jam that has live music (sometimes we have live music too!):

💫 Come move, connect & explore—RSVP now & experience the magic of Contact Improvisation! 🌀

Some experience this phase as psychedelic, others as grounding or cathartic or relaxing. It depends on the participant and on the type of breathwork we practice.

🌿 GROUNDING – After activation, we ease into a gentle meditation drawing from techniques like Yoga Nidra & Vipassana body scans.

💨 RELEASE – The facilitator will guide you through affirmations or a meditation, helping you let go of stress, anxiety, and emotional baggage, leaving you feeling peaceful & restored.

💬 INTEGRATION – We close in a sharing circle, where you can reflect, connect, and integrate your experience with the group.

By the end, you’ll feel a deep sense of vitality & tranquility to carry into your daily life, relationships, and personal growth. 🌟

🔹How will you feel during a session? It's hard to say! While I may be facilitating the session, ultimately YOU are in driver's seat of how the experience feels (depending on your emotional state, predisposition to breathwork, capacity to surrender, physiological state that day, etc)
