A event held at Bristol Old Vic on Monday 29th January. 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 TARA SILVERTHORN
The class will be mostly improvisation-based and rooted in process, drawing on somatic, sensory and physiological information to guide us gently and spaciously into solo and group dancing. Tara will offer open scores with the aim of expanding our options and deepening the embodied experience. There will be a ‘light-touch’ invitation to work with some set material with a sense of play and agency. Working with others in ways that involve physical touch may be woven in, as a means to clarify anatomical awareness and open unexpected possibilities. The class will encourage attending to where you are and what you are with in each given moment; whether in wide, full-bodied dancing or slower, subtler, more restful responses.
