about the classes: 

partnering / improvisation with jack & jel - This workshop will explore moments of experimental partnering, improvisation and task-based movement. This session offers a space to engage physically and creatively through individual and collaborative movement experimentations and focus on elements that Jack and Jel are currently working on with each other themselves.

inplay workshop with alec - Blending elements of dance, improvisation, and embodied play, these sessions offer a chance to reconnect with your body, shake off the drudgery of everyday movement, and rediscover your inner sense of fun. Expect to get a bit silly, playful and wonderfully free in a supportive and open environment. Alec, with his background in contemporary dance, improvisation and choreography, brings a unique movement approach drawn from his research in ‘Play’, alongside pulling from three years of yoga teaching and his current Pilates Teacher Training. Sessions begin with gentle warm-ups to prepare the body, before diving into improvisation and physical exploration.

creeping cats floor workshop - The Creeping Cat workshop will explore the art of floor dance and flow acrobatics. Participants will learn unique, complex, and exciting tricks, paired with transitional movements to create intriguing combinations.

into the body - These sessions, guided by Ellie Murtagh and Kristen Cafari, draw upon a range of mind-body release practices that cultivate a sense of intention, freedom and exploration of our inner world. Through movement that encourages sensing, listening, feeling and resolving what is being held within our bodies, we create space to be guided back to centre, self awareness and release. Currently in the curious, beginning stages of learning and developing a practice that draws upon methods picked up along the way to regain alignment with our bodies, we seek to foster a deeper understanding of our inner rhythm and embrace the flow of experimental faith. Come as you are, all are welcome.
