Christopher Roman Workshop

Workshop with Dr Christopher Roman (Frankfurt Ballet, The Forsythe Company, Deborah Hay) in partnership with Dance Ireland, Tuesday July 7th
“As an older dancer who has worked in company environments for the majority of my career, I have been able to look back and see how I allowed my artistic fantasy to take me away from my body's actual capacities, especially as it relates to the expectations of my employment. In recent years, I have tried to make peace with the idea of a dancer being an athlete. It is contrary to my own personal understanding of what it is to be an artist. I am attempting a mix of sustainable and helpful practices that condition my body to serve the work I am making myself or am asked to be part of, without losing the expression inherent in contemporary dance-making. This workshop is a brief exploration of care and action, consequent thought and movement, preparation and freedom". Christopher Roman
