In this class we will tune into our movement capabilities by sensing our whole body and how it’s connected to the floor and to gravity.
We will explore the movement of different parts of the body: arms, legs, head, chest and pelvis, to increase awareness and possibility for movement expression. Rosalind will guide exploration of one’s own improvised movement language in solo and duos. We will witness and listen to one another before gradually building towards group scores where play, decision making, and collective listening form the foundation for improvisation. We will have fun as well as cultivate a sense of group awareness and make compositional choices together.
Cancellations and refunds
Prices for classes are kept very low and are subsidised by ID in order to support artists to attend. To keep admin manageable for our small team, we don’t offer refunds if you cancel or can’t attend a class, and we can’t transfer your booking to a different class/event. We hope this is understandable. If a class is cancelled or changed by ID however, we do offer refunds/transfers to everyone who has booked.
