Rhythms of Relating
What is Groove? This research question guides Nathaniel’s practice and this week of classes. A range of improvisational approaches and invitations to movement will explore the sharing and communication of:
- resonance, vibration, oscillation, frequency and repetition
- beat rhythm pulse and heartbeat
- heartbeat breath and wave
- waves and cycles of time
We will use varied body-based imagery from practices such as experiential anatomy to play with overlapping grooves within our body, with music and with each other.
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.
