An improvisation dance course for adults, held in a safe space where participants explore what dance can be and how to use the body creatively. The sessions draw on modern dance exercises and improvisation to look at movement, rhythm, dynamics and the interplay between body and space.
Each session alternates between a warm-up in modern dance, simple technical exercises and creative improvisation. Work covers balance, weight transfer, different qualities of movement and moving in response to others. Guided improvisation helps participants discover how movement can emerge, develop and open up new ways of expressing oneself physically. The focus is on the process rather than the result, and no previous dance experience is needed. The course closes with stretching and relaxation to settle into the body.
