Courthouse Classes

Tuesdays 5:30pm - 7pm

Movement Miscellany with Reuben Macdougall Di Manno

Move your body and mind in Coburg this winter! Participants in this drop-in series will be guided through principles of contemporary dance movement and improvisation. Taking a different form each week to keep the attention alive, attendees will be provided with movement phrases for training, improvised scores and tasks, as well as written and spoken word exercises. Perfect for the movement curious or dancers looking to welcome other mediums into their practice.

Fridays 10am - 12pm

InPlay Sessions with Alec Katsourakis

Start your Friday with a dose of movement, play, and embodied joy. Join director of InPlay Projects Alec Katsourakis for a weekly 2-hour somatic workshop at Coburg Courthouse. 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. Drawing from yoga, pilates, and play theory, sessions begin with a gentle warm-up... then expect to get silly, wacky, and wonderfully free in a supportive and open environment!

Saturdays 10am - 10:45am

Soft Somatic Foundations with Chelsea Byrne

A slow and subtle warm-up for the weekend. Use somatic moment and contemporary dance principles to connect with with your body, activate nervous system, muscle and fascia to feel spacious and supported. All ages welcome. No prior movement or dance training required.

All Courthouse Programming is supported by Merri-Bek City Council and the Coburg Courthouse Residency.
