PRESENTS

Lifting & Partnering Workshop with Toby Fitzgibbons

October 6th:
1500 – 16:30

November 10th:
15:00 – 17:00

The workshops will focus on safe and effective partnering skills, and learning pathways into lifting techniques, in a friendly, non-judgmental environment. The main aim will be to work on skills that underpin flexible and bespoke approaches to lifting, connection with others and partnering.

After an appropriate warm-up for the main content of the workshop, we will learn, and practice, some basic partnering and weight bearing exercises, to ground the group, foster trust, and focus the awareness on each others needs and requirements. We will work with effective use of weight, and lifting structures based on our own unique bodies! We will learn a variety of lifts, in levels, experimenting with the right holds for each person, where coordination and trust are key – rather than only relying on strength, followed by a cool down. Along the way we will practice checking-in with each other and ourselves.

Join me for what will hopefully be some really fun and interesting workshops, around this wonderful element within the practice of dance.

African Contemporary Workshop with Julienne Doko & percussionist Paulo Villegas O.

October 13th &
December 8th

15:00 – 17:00

In these workshops, we will focus on the rooting principle, which enables us to be centered; connected with ourselves and our surroundings. We will look into some specific movement dynamics such as ripple, momentum, weight shift and foot action. The class is accompanied by live music.
All levels welcome, movement experience recommended.

Contemporary & Floorwork Workshop with Mark Philip & musician Alexander Skjold

October 27th &
November 3rd
15:00 – 17:00

Contemporary & Floorwork Workshop with Mark Philip from Uppercut Dance Theater

A workshop with Mark Philip is one of those hard-to-define, impossible-to-encapsulate experiences that’s difficult to describe in a one-liner with a specific genre or technique.

Drawing on his practice from the capoeira training in his adolescence and experience as an avid breaker in his young adulthood, Mark has established a distinct style that fuses the acrobatics and dynamism of floorwork and power moves with contemporary dance.

You can expect to be in contact with the floor and in dialogue with your muscles; for your core to be the connection between the upper and lower body, that will often find itself in twisted and reversed positions. By seeing the world upside down, your perception will undoubtedly shift.

We’ll be breaking down Mark’s characteristic moves piece by piece (pun intended), and working on pairing the sensationalism of acrobatics with the sensibleness of contemporary dance – always with a focus on your personal body language and artistic expression.
