[10:00am-1:00pm] Kirstie Simson 10-1pm
- Description:
- The Poetry of Motion – Improvisation in the context of deep listening taught by Kirstie Simson and collaborators.
Kirstie will lead morning workshops in dance-improvisation, drawing from her knowledge of contact improvisation, dance techniques, aikido and her extensive experience of improvisation in performance.
The week of workshops will form part of a research project that Kirstie is facilitating with six international improvisers.
The focus will be on the collaborative exploration of the huge potential that the body manifests in response to the primal urge to move.
Inspired by deep energies released through human interaction, physical challenge and through the excitement of discovering new territory and a daring to go beyond inherent ideas of limitation, the classes will embody the spirit of challenge, empathy and generosity that exists within the practice of improvisation.
Classes will build from a foundation of simple physical principles allowing students to explore their experience of moving and to understand their own bodies more profoundly, which is often experienced as energetic liberation.
Kirstie has spent many years researching ways of moving which generate full and fearless dancing, and she enjoys the challenges of intense physicality. Her greatest joy is the process of collaborative work through improvisation. Some of her collaborators from the research project will be participating in guiding the classes.
£35 for the week of mornings or £9 per class. Must be booked in advance.
