Kahbam
Kahbam is a Contact Improv group based in Enschede, The Netherlands.
Kahbam explores body movements through CI workshops and sharings during jam sessions on Fridays in Enschede.
Through invitations also sessions in other cities (in the past: Münster, Göttingen, Utrecht, Schiedam, Eindhoven) or at festivals (Fusionfestival Lärz, Living Village, Potluck Festival, Culture festival, Balfolk, BodyLove, InTouch)
(check the planning for more info)
The workshops are lead by Loby Lam or his students.
Kahbam also invites guest teachers to share their perspectives.
But the essential teachings comes from the dance encounters itself.

Contact Improvisation (CI)
Contact Improvisation is a contemporary dance form based on the physical principles of touch, shared weight, listening to a shared point of contact. This form is for everybody, whether you are an advanced dancer or just a curious beginner, including all kinds of abilities and restrictions.
Movements explorations of the body and centering the mind, lifting using minimal effort, how to make ourselves light when being lifted or stable when it comes to supporting.
Cultivating a comfortable attitude towards being in the moment of not-knowing, for the
responsiveness to our partners and the surroundings.
We give you the opportunity to participate in our weekly workshops and jams in the Prismare (Enschede).

Klinikclowns gehen durch den Dschungel
Seminarwochenende gibt wichtige Impulse für die Arbeit der Clowns
Beeindruckt vom Seminar bei Loby Lam (3. v. l.) zeigten sich (v. l.) Ulrike Elskamp (vorne), Olinda Marinho e Campos, Susanne Ratzmann, Jaqueline Bollig und Michael Westermeier.
Rheine - 18.04.2016. „Doppeldaumen hoch“ war die Bewertung der Klinikclowns nach ihrem Wochenendseminar beim Improvisationstrainer Loby Lam, der in Enschede die Kontakt-Improvisations-Gruppe „Kahbam“ leitet. Dank der Kooperation mit dem Jugend- und Familiendienst (jfd) Rheine konnten die Klinikclowns für ihre Fortbildung die Räume des jfd kostenfrei nutzen. Am Sonntagnachmittag ließen sie müde und euphorisch zugleich die zwei Tage Intensivtraining Revue passieren.
Das Weiten meines Horizontes hat meine eigene Standfestigkeit gestärkt“, stellte Susanne Ratzmann („Molly“) verblüfft nach einer Fokus-Übung fest, „ich bin viel schwerer aus dem Gleichgewicht zu bringen gewesen. – Ich habe dabei auch viel für mein Leben mitgenommen, nicht nur für meine Clownsarbeit.“ Organisiert hatte das Seminar die künstlerische Leiterin des Vereins Olinda Marinho e Campos.
Mit ganz wenig ganz viel machen: Dass sie das können, erfuhren die Klinikclowns während des Improvisationsseminars mit Loby Lam.
„Wir Menschen haben durch die allgemeine Alltagsbewältigung sowie die Arbeit die Tendenz, zu sehr zu verkopfen, zu analysieren – dadurch entfernen wir uns von unseren Emotionen und Sinnen“, sagte sie. Durch verschiedene Techniken der Kontakt-Improvisation, die auf körpereigene Impulse und Sinnenswahrnehmungen aufbauen, werden die nicht-kognitiven Kompetenzen geschult. „Aufmerksamkeit und Empfindsamkeit sind ein wichtiger Teil unserer Arbeit“, erklärt Marinho e Campos.
Selbst für die erfahrenen Profis war es toll zu erleben, mit wie wenig Input von außen sie aus beinahe nichts alles machen können – indem sie einfach da sind und aus sich heraus agieren. „Das Einlassen auf die Situation, mit dem gehen, was da ist, das ist die Essenz“, sagte Marinho e Campos („Mimi“), „ohne diese innere Haltung sind alle Clownstechniken vergebens.“
Während der Übungen fragte Lam immer wieder das Energielevel der Teilnehmer ab: „Wo steht ihr gerade? Was braucht ihr jetzt?“ Nach der Mittagspause sei er einfach noch ein paar Minuten liegen geblieben, sagte Michael Westermeier („Konrad“), „und das war dann auch okay. Es war schön zu erleben, wie die Erschöpfung von allein weicht, wenn ich sie zulasse, und einer ganz neuen Kraft Platz macht.“
„Die anderen zu sehen und zu erleben, wie sie an ihre Grenzen gehen, einfach so, ohne Leistungsdruck – das war ein Geschenk!“, sagte Jaqueline Bollig („Flora“), die vor einiger Zeit neu zum Team gestoßen ist. „Wir haben uns näher kennengelernt, das Vertrauen untereinander vertieft“, sagte Marinho e Campos. „Das war sehr wichtig, da wir sonst zwar miteinander arbeiten, aber privat wenig miteinander zu tun haben.“
Mit geschlossenen Augen arbeitet sich Ulrike Elskamp (rosa Pullover) durch den „Dschungel“ der Körper der anderen Teilnehmer.
Besonders beeindruckt hatte die Clowns die Übung „Dschungel“. Der „Dschungel“, den eine Person mit geschlossenen Augen durchwanderte, bestand aus den Körpern der anderen: Durch Spüren und Tasten fand sie ihren Weg über, unter oder zwischen den anderen hindurch. „Ich hatte vor der Übung wirklich Angst“, sagte Ulrike Elskamp („Lili“), „aber mit dem Schließen der Augen kam plötzlich das Vertrauen.“ Wärme, Atem, Fühlen – „es war, als würden an meinem Körper plötzlich viele kleine Antennen entstehen“, erinnerte sich Bollig an die Übung.
Lam bekam viel Lob für sein Improvisationsseminar, das er aus seinem Repertoire heraus ohne Vorbereitung ganz individuell angepasst hatte an die Menschen, mit denen er arbeitete.
Für die Arbeit der Klinikclowns mit kranken, behinderten, dementen oder sterbenden Menschen jedes Alters nehmen die Clowns viel mit: „Wir nehmen uns nun noch mal mehr Zeit, um zu gucken, was da ist: in genau der Situation mit genau dem Menschen. Und wir vertrauen darauf, dass ein Impuls aus uns heraus kommt, der unser Spiel ermöglicht“, sagte Westermeier. Denn nichts anderes als Improvisation ist die Arbeit der Clowns, wenn sie die Tür öffnen und plötzlich im Zimmer der Menschen stehen.

Guest teacher Suzan Lemont
when: 26-02-2016
start at 19:50
where: Enschede Prismare
more info: facebook event
Expressive arts therapist, body-mind connections facilitator, and movement improvisation teacher Suzan Lemont will lead the group in a Body Mind Centering-based warm up. We begin with the connection to ourselves, then move to connection between us and the environment, and then into our awareness that we are a contained being moving in a specific space and coming into contact with others. Once we have an increased awareness of what our drives and preferences for movement are, we can experience a different kind of contact: slower, deeper, more integrated. The focus will be on the awreness of the spine and increased sensory perception. All levels and backgrounds are welcome.

Loby works as an improvisation practitioner and teacher.
After the Bachelor of Information and Communication Technology with specialization in Gaming and Security (2001-2006), he participated setting up Iederwijs in Twente (inspired from the Sudbury Valley School) and was a coach/ teacher. Through play, people get connected and learn the most effective way through personal experiences.
Later on, he went to several Vipassana meditation retreats to learn more about mindfulness.
To realize that having less stuff is making life more flexible, he experienced a nomadic life by building a covered wagon behind a horse and traveled.
After that project he went on backpacking, hitchhiking and couchsurfing.
During experiences abroad, he discovered contact improvisation.
He enjoys bringing people together as they show their authentic selves in the dance.
CI shows benefits applicable to his daily life, like being mindful in the changes and to make a deeper connection with life itself.
According to the founder of CI, Steve Paxton, this art form is highly inspired from Aikido.
That leads him to practice Aikido since 2014, at the Headquarter Aikikan Dojo Enschede, lead by Siavash Derakhshan ( 6th Dan Aikikai) With strong inspiration from Christian Tissier (8th Dan Aikikai )
December 2020, Loby is promoted to a Black belt holder 2nd Dan Aikikai, Hombu Dojo, Tokyo.
Loby traveled and joined classes/ jam sessions/ festivals to discover more about Contact Improvisation in Hongkong ( Kongtact Square身隨意舞) , Budapest (SIN & Kontakt Budapest), Berlin (k77, inTouch ), Krakow, Groningen (Random Collision), Amsterdam, Gottingen (Contact meets Contemporary, Osterimprofestival )
He set up Kahbam to combine all the different perspectives of movements and disciplines in order to offer space to share experiences.
