Workshop: Post performance workshop with Yolande Snaith

Event information

Sunday March 23, 2 - 4pm : Post performance workshop with Yolande Snaith.
An invitation to experience the integral structures and themes explored and in Quartet, offering insights into dance-making 'in the moment' and collaborative practice.

Yolande writes: “As we dance with an awareness of our relationship to other moving bodies in time, space, sound, music and our environment, we are making moment to moment intuitive choices, creating the dance as we go along. This workshop invites participants to tune their awareness with curiosity, both individually and as a collective, to ‘composing in the moment’. We engage attentively in a creative practice that opens space for dance-making with heightened senses, expanded creativity, deeply felt embodiment and playful spontaneity.

“We will begin with a guided improvisational warmup, tuning our attention to our internal landscapes and anatomical architectures through both movement and stillness; opening, softening, releasing, lengthening, expanding, surrendering to gravity, elevating with levity, listening and responding to sensation as we move and embody somatic information and images. As we extend our awareness out to the collective and the space, participants are guided to playfully build connections through dancing in imaginative and creative ways, consciously developing spontaneous, relational choice making. Time is spent both dancing and witnessing, sharing feedback and experiences, leading to the practice of joyful emergent dances, that hold their own internal logic, poetry, form and meaningfulness.”

This workshop relates to the Quartet performance on Sat 22 March – seeing that is useful but not essential. More info and to book for that, see https://wegottickets.com/event/652639

This will happen in the Studio upstairs (20 stairs, no lift).
Workshop participants are welcome to join the Jam at 5pm on Sunday 23 March.
