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 4:

Felt Ecologies
A workshop with Vanessa Grasse
13th July, 2-6pm
A journey of inhabiting, exchanging, coexisting, and nurturing relational and ecological connections within the human and non-human communities to which we belong. Beginning indoors and continuing outdoors at Brandon Hill Park.
This will be an open-level workshop. Vanessa will share scores and practices from the development of her projects Mesh and The Land We Are, both of which focus on nurturing connectivity and creating collective and ecological rituals with others and our environments. The session will begin indoors and then continue outdoors in Brandon Hill Park.
We will move individually and as a group, guided by improvisational scores and somatic imagery, to navigate relational states, nervous system regulation, resilience and resourcefulness in both our dancing and daily living. Playfully reimagining individual and communal ways of inhabiting, exchanging, coexisting, and nurturing relational and ecological connections within the human and non-human communities to which we belong.
------------------------------
*Please remember to bring comfortable shoes and waterproofs as we will be moving outdoors.
*Most of the work will be done outdoors in the park, on grass and loose terrain.
*The park is wheelchair accessible
*Please note for this workshop we will be meeting at the venue.

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.
