Beginning with gentle relaxation into wakeful responsiveness, Alex’s classes usually circle around the integration of impulse and compositional sensibility, and explore how body, imagination and feeling state can be interdependent sources of material, including in embodied sound and language. Main influences include Skinner Releasing Technique, Action Theater, Suprapto Suryodarmo and clown work.

Two artists present work that cuts across the scope of the visual arts.

Opening of monitor
Performance: test pattern [live set] 
by Ryoji Ikeda – UK Première
Produced by Forma

test pattern [live set], the latest audiovisual work in Ikeda's datamatics series, presents intense flickering black and white imagery, which floats and convulses in darkness to a stark and powerful, highly synchronised soundtrack. Ultra fast moving images provide a performance test for the audio and visual devices, as well as a response test for the audience's perceptions.

Note: The work contains strobe and high levels of sound.

Tickets free, limited capacity. No booking required

We will work with a particular idea, image or bodily focus for the day, sometimes beginning through partnerwork or individual exploration. This ‘theme of the day’‚ will be carried through a shared warm up of simple forms with the focus on clarifying attention, and awareness in movement, and opening up choices in how we move. We will then apply this to dancing exploration of more complex material which may or may not include improvisational aspects.

Joe’s classes explore a range of improvisational approaches to dancing as ways in to widening movement possibilities and to an embodied sense of form, space and composition. These departure points may include explorations of energetic relationships and qualities, the use of scoring and writing, somatic investigations, or dancing with images, sounds or ideas. Joe’s classes draw influence from his studies with a number of experimental dance artists and somatic practitioners in Britain and America, and his practice of Skinner Releasing Technique, of which he is a certified teacher.
