This Contemporary Workshop Class is aimed at dancers who want to develop their relationship with their creative selves. It is suited to dancers who have an investigative interest in choreographic practices and wish to deepen their practice in a collaborative, safe and creative, environment.

Each workshop will utilise improvisation practices, set material, floor work and basic partnering techniques with a focus on composition, form and language of movement affecting the dramaturgy of the work. We will also be covering…

• Skill development and artistry, particularly in choice-making and choreographic devices.

• Dance as a collaborative art

• Perspective and approaches to choreography – ‘Throwing the book away’

• Tapping into your physicality and artistry

• Importance of communicating ideas - Building a collective language between choreographer and dancer

This is a collaborative class where dancers will have the freedom and choice to contribute to movement phrases taught as well as the opportunity to show individual artistry and skills when manipulating class material through elements of space, time, and dynamics to facilitate exploration.
