Inside-Out Body is an advanced-level Contemporary dance class led by choreographer Lucy M. May! Get ready to listen deeply to your sensations as we explore skin, bones, and muscles through self-touch, mapping imagined lines from our five fingers to our five toes.
The workshop begins with a moving meditation, proceeding with a few exercises for functional strength, power, and stamina. We’ll then play with patterns that move across the floor in three-dimensions, alone and with a partner, engaging with the unexpected. A phrase, session, or choreographic exploration inspired by The Conditions (Beaverbrook Art Gallery May 26-31) will complete the workshop. Improvisation, interconnectedness, and an eclectic playlist lead the way as we orient towards dexterity, explosiveness, self-discovery, and being together through dance.
Movers from all backgrounds are welcome!
This workshop is presented in partnership with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.
