First I woud try just a negative \vskip thus:
\vskip -10pt
I know we are not supposed to use \vskips in Context except when
enclosed by
\startstandardmakeup
\stopstandardmakeup
But I use them and thus far there have been no terrible bad effects.
If you use \vskip and the sky falls in then there are the more complex
but safer methods such as the one outlined by Patrick G.
