Coventry University
10am-5pm

Price for 2 days £40 (morning sessions available for £25)

Morning workshops…
Finding playfulness in our dancing through exploration into experiential anatomical themes, touch and movement and a sensory awareness into our physical structure and patterns can highlight our potential to move 3 dimensionally.

The Landscape of the Body, Volume, Weight, Spirals & Support will provide beginning markers.

Emphasis on afternoon workshop....
Creating a learning context to explore the performing qualities of the work through compositional and creative tools can be further developed. Time will be dedicated to sharing and observing others as they move. As a starting point Andrea will draw from her current performance piece WALKING WITHIN as an opportunity to deepen compositional and creative practice.

The 2 full day workshop costs £40 and will take place in the Ellen Terry Building for Performing Arts, which is in the City of Coventry. The mornings are available for £25 but the afternoons are only available as part of the full 2 day package.

This weekend is open to people interested in and with significant experience in movement, improvisation and performance. The weekend will propel from an openness and curiosity to explore.
