The Masterclass Series (2): Junior Cunningham
About this Event
Company Chameleon is excited to share: The Masterclass Series (2), an opportunity for professional dancers and final year dance students to develop their craft.
Our Masterclass Series offers the chance to push forward your practice by working with guest artists from across the country. In the sessions, you will dive into their bodies of work, explore their creative process and connect with other professional artists from across the region and beyond.
For the second masterclass in the series, we welcome Junior Cunningham, whose work is defined by a strikingly physical and emotionally charged approach to performance.
Join us for this two-day opportunity to grow and develop your practice.
About Junior Cunningham
Junior has been working in the Dance industry for over twenty years as a Performer, Facilitator/Teacher & Choreographer.
Following his graduation from Northern School of Contemporary Dance (2002, BA Hons), he then worked for Motionhouse from 2003 to 2024. Junior is now freelancing and broadening his career to add Hosting, Stage Management, Producing & Movement Direction to his list of roles whilst continuing to perform, teach and create.
Through his career so far, Junior has developed a great wealth of knowledge to both draw from and to pass on.
He has a love for teaching with a fun energetic style that reaches all ages and abilities. Junior draws his movement vocabulary from many different dance styles and techniques to form a unique way of moving in and out of the floor freely as well as up into the air. He is a specialist in Contact & Parenting work with a focus on safe practice and solid techniques to achieve fun and exciting ways to move, and move with other people.
What to expect:
Expect a Class that will test your muscular endurance, travelling in and out of the floor, and using all dimensions of space, drawing on movement techniques and skills from a wide variety of styles and disciplines such as Contemporary, Capoeira and Old skool Street. Partnering always plays a big role in his workshops as it is his love and joy.
