About this Event
A three-week series. One ticket (£100) covers all three sessions:
Thursday 21 May, Thursday 28 May, and Thursday 4 June, 7pm to 8:30pm.
Across three weekly workshop sessions, we'll work with group improvisation scores, coming together to enjoy and reflect upon what it is to move together. How do we sense shared intentions even as we move with differing ways and interests?
Expect to be guided into a gentle led warm-up, followed by the sharing of scores working with space, proximity, touch and rhythm, moving through a variety of movement qualities with curated musical accompaniment from Iain Ross of Glasgow Soundbath.
Some movement or dance experience is required.
We strongly encourage participants to book on for all three sessions and will be prioritising those that can. If this is a barrier for you, please do let us know.
This series will go ahead subject to minimum participation of eight. We'll confirm by 18th May. In the unlikely event we don't meet this, ticket holders will be refunded in full.
