A little bit about me the dance artist:

Contemporary floor work class,

Class will focus around identifying, challenging and building patterns within movement, with the aim of connecting the body, building strength and playing with movement to help enhance performance. All done in a playful way to encourage us to enjoy the process of discovery within the body as well as focus on development.

This then develops towards an energetic floor work class, focusing on transferring weight, creating space in the body and looking into ways of using the floor to facilitate movement. Starting using gravity and using a horizontal state to mobilise the spine and find length in the body, drawing upon ideas and pathways used when standing and the similarities when transferring them to the floor.

This focus builds around a fast, dynamic yet technically detailed movement quality with an emphasis on where movement begins. Using efficient methods of moving to enable us to transition to and from the floor, preparing the body to develop strength and power and challenge new extremes when moving through space.

“Play is the highest form of research” Albert Einstein
