About master-class:

This workshop explores the body and how it experiences movement in space.

We will explore ways in which we can listen to our experience in action. We will work solo and with a partner or partners looking at different ways in which we can tune ourselves to follow and ride our own and others movement.

The work will explore what happens when the body is in motion in relation to itself, to gravity, to the ground, to the space and to the bodies of others.

I’m calling it Contact Improvisation – As if it hadn’t been invented yet - because I’m interested in what happens when we don’t name something or have an idea of what it is before we start – and Contact Improvisation lends itself to this idea because it is in a constant process of being invented with each new dance. So this workshop asks what happens when we allow ourselves to be explorers – stepping out into the unknown with all the attention, alertness, anticipation and excitement that the act of exploration implies.

Within this exploration, we will look at specific exercises with new eyes and bodies. We will look at mass and momentum, falling, rolling, pouring, folding, unfolding, flying, falling, rising and riding the moment to moment dance that arises from setting our bodies and our imaginations in motion.

This workshop is for all those who are curious about movement.
