A event held at Bristol Old Vic on Monday 20th 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 ANNIE KELLEHER
The class is for experienced dancers/professionals to explore finding freedom in form using release technique. There will be moving in and out of the floor, playfulness and music to get you in the groove. We will warm up exploring collective energy and joy to bring heat to our bodies through movement and breath before diving into technical phrases and structured movement that will go in and out of the floor, it will be sweaty! We'll finish the class by rejoining together as a collective to rejoice in our sense of community.
