Get Your Ticket

A event held at Bristol Old Vic on Monday 13th November. The event starts at 10:00.


GATHER UP invites different Bristol-based practitioners to lead morning classes to support the continuous training and development of experienced movers and professional dance artists. Morning Class takes place weekly on a Monday morning in term time.

MORNING CLASS WITH ROSEANNA ANDERSON

This class will begin with technique based exercises to find balance and clarity in the body before moving into more travelling phrases.

Roseanna will focus on musicality and theatricality to play with finding an individual style in the longer movement sequences. Supporting you to find your own way of inhabiting the 'dance', exploring moments of improvisation whilst also engaging with the specificity and detail of the phrases.

A chance to connect with your body, be playful and share the space with others.
