During this week, you will develop your skills in Flying Low contemporary Technique. You will refine the details in the movement pathways that lead you from the ground to standing as effortless and smooth as possible. Always originating with the idea of spiral movement pathways, you will flow in and out of the earth, moving as one group, using your eyes to connect with each other and the space equally.
You will also explore how Passing Through improvisation score can be used to instantly compose the space in exciting and unexpected ways. It begins relatively simple, but develops in its complexity and flare, to instantly compose the space with the people in the room.
There will be some moments where the voice will be used, exploring how different ways of using our voices individually and collaboratively can add to Passing Through scores or inspire our Flying Low Dynamics.

During class, all participants are welcome to take breaks, observe, exit and enter the space as they wish. Lounge areas are available on the first and ground floors of the building. Yoga mats, blocks, cushions and ear defenders are available for use. We also welcome you being in contact if you would like to discuss the option of bringing your access support worker. Please speak to a member of the ID team if you require any assistance.
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.
