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 3:

Shoulder to Shoulder: Nurturing Solo Creative Practice Together.
A Workshop with Orrow Bell, 12 July / 2-6pm
Join a gathering of artists for an afternoon of sharing and feeding your own creative practice, shaking habits and diving into some fresh approaches.
Developing a solo practice can be enriching. Yet it can be isolating, perplexing or the thing that gets lost. This is a workshop for anyone who is wondering what the words 'solo creative practice’ might mean for them, or what they might mean now. The workshop looks to create a playful, nurturing and inspiring being-alongside-ness as we delve into our own individual approaches to creativity and movement.
Through a series of co-authored scores and invitations, we’ll swim through some possibilities for improvisation, movement making, meaning making, reflection, writing and drawing. We’ll interrogate how respectful being-alongside can be physicalised. We’ll also dip into shared materials and the knowledge in the group. We’ll invite being seen and feeling keenly. We’ll play.
The workshop imagines solo practice as an ongoing question rather than as a known quantity. You don’t need to know what your practice is or might be, but rather come with curiosity to find out more. Professional dance and movement-based artists with burgeoning and established practices are warmly welcome.
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.
