THEATRE WORKS: Creative Performance

Technique, intuition, accepting the “theatre situation”… the dancing body readies itself for performing creatively. Composing the material and sensing it before an audience. The course enters into each of these areas in detail and gives extended time for the instant making of dances, gaining insight through observation and feed-back.

As part of the technical work which precedes this course subject, the workshop day begins with a basic training called “THE SUPPORTED BODY”. This work opens up and refines the different layers and levels of support harnessed by the dancing body…. the most basic being the support the MASS of the body gains from its contact with the ground; it does this through the touch of the surface of the ground with the surface of the body.
