Do I need to have prior experience in contact improvisation to join?

Not at all! There's something for everyone in this schedule. Pick through the offerings and choose some easy classes, some clown, some body work, the blindfold jam, the underscore ... match it to your needs.

Where can I stay if I'm coming from out of town ?

There are lots of Air B and Bs around Vancouver downtown, but feel free to shoot WCCI a message and we'll try and find a billet or a couch if that's your thing. For a party of five or more WCCI will do it's best to find a community house. For more information go to www.vancouvercontact.com FAQ

Can you join in for just one day?

No not for just one day. We will try and fill the festival with full-timers, but if we don't fill up we may open registration for those who would like to drop in just for two days. This will be reflected in the price.

Is there parking near by?

Yes there's lots of relatively cheap parking under Tinseltown (International Village), but it's also very easy to skytrain to the end of the Expo line and walk five minutes to SFU Gold Corp building.
