Xan Dye will work with a score as an entry point to their practice, and as a launching off point for these morning sessions.
Score:
Permission to move
Permission to rest – to play in the space between rest and motion… fidgety rest? restful motion?
Permission to dance
Permission to not dance – to play in the space between dancing and not dancing
Permission to repeat what feels good
Permission to shift into something new – to play in the space between repeating and shifting, exploring how difference emerges through repetition
Tuning into body sensations of nerves, muscle, bone and jiggly flesh
Attuning to the sensory landscape of the room, sounds, movements, vibrations and forces
Noticing the dialogue between inside and outside, self and other
– exploring our ‘yes’ and our ‘no’ in relation to the invitations offered by our environments and the people we share them with
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.
Xan Dye (they/them) is an independent artist whose practice emerged from a time in their life when they were learning about their neurodivergence, and beginning to explore what a movement practice could offer them in relation to this.
Their ongoing research project STIMMING explores what we can learn from the rhythmic, repetitive, sensory seeking movements that we do, consciously or unconsciously, to self-regulate and seek sensation. This creates space for play between the binaries of dance and not dance, rest and physical release, embodied awareness and dissociation, private and performative, raving and resting. To Xan this is an expression of their non-binary identity and neuro-queer ways of being in process and performance.
