EXPRESSIVE BODIES: IMPROVISATION AND CONTEMPORARY DANCE WORKSHOP
25/02 - 15/04/2025
Jackson's Lane, London, N6 5SS
​
In this 8-week workshop, participants are invited to explore their creative body through a number of embodied practices. In each session, we will explore individual and group movement facilitated through imaginative instructions based on a specific theme, including introspection, communication, rhythm and playfulness. For us, movement is a way to experiment with the body as a site of sensation, emotion, memory and creativity. We will encourage you to inhabit your body through those various layers.
​
Our approach brings together movement direction, somatic practice and movement psychotherapy to facilitate an experience where bodily knowledge is situated in the individual, and brought into dialogue through the community.
