Join us for an energising week of dancing

A week-long Summer series including morning class with Kip Johnson and afternoon workshops led by four wonderful artists: Amarnah Ufuoma Cleopatra, Jo Fong, Orrow Bell and Vanessa Grasse. All within the beautiful space of The Mount Without.

This week of dancing is open to all - you might be a professional dancer, have some dancing experience, or you may like to get your dancing practice going. You are welcome.

Come along for the whole week of dancing, or drop-in to any of the classes or workshops that you would like to attend.

There will be time to nourish your solo dancing practice, enliven dancing in community, balanced with space to explore ways we could move and be with the wider more-than-human world as a collective dancing ‘ecosystem’.
Morning class will warm the body, ground and prepare you for the rest of the day.

The afternoon workshops will allow you to delve into your current points of interest and to learn from a specific artist's practice.
A free communal lunch will celebrate and close our week of dancing. A chance to break bread together, share and reflect.

Give time to interrogating, discovering, and celebrating what moves you.

Watch this space for updates on evening events taking place this week.

DAY 1:
—————————————————————————-


Flying Low, Passing Through
A workshop with Amarnah Ufuoma Cleopatra
10th July, 2-6pm

In this workshop, Amarnah will share her practice as a Flying Low and Passing Through teacher. Firstly tuning into our independent body, we will warm up collectively but internally. Then, slowly but surely, we will open our awareness out to the group and the space, exploring how curved and spiral pathways within us and through us can build momentum and group connection. See this as an in-depth study of Passing Through.
Amarnah will breakdown some of the ingredients that make up the improvisation technique through exercises to fine-tune what we may already know. Throughout the 4 hours, we will play, improvise and dance together building our sense of community and awareness of our individuality within the group setting. The session will include familiarising ourselves with Flying Low pathways which will be integrated in a final Passing Through Jam.
Never leaving a person behind, Amarnah’s work has an emphasis on connecting to the community we are sharing the space with, practising togetherness and invigorating the essence, joy and fire that inspires us to dance.

Morning Class with Kip Johnson
10-14th July, 11-1pm

Kip’s class will be a mixture of bodywork to begin - working in pairs and using touch, followed by structured improvisation, set material and most importantly playfulness.
As we journey through the class, Kip will draw from release-based dance practice, to play with the cause and effect of movements and how to create a relaxed efficiency whilst moving. Using clear places of initiation in the body and how to control the momentum that is created from these points.
Come as you are, and find ways to be both porous and curious whilst dancing. Then take this feeling out, beyond and into your day.
