The workshop will begin with a guided warm up and contemporary floorwork fundamentals which will then lead into travelling and set phrases.

Workshop with Bryn Thomas

Saturday 14th December

In Bryn’s workshop we will draw from techniques from Contact improvisation, Floorwork and Improvisation. We will dance with each other, with and without touch. We will explore what it means for us to move as ourselves, and why we share our movement with others. Expect to be physically challenged, to move with pleasure and to move together. This is a workshop for all bodies. Kneepads are advised if you have sensitive knees.

Bryn has performed and taught across the UK and internationally for the last 10 years. He specialises in improvisational practice and floor work. He regularly performs with Simone Mousset and is a guest lecturer at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance.
