Finding a centre and moving from it, finding clarity and noticing presence, elastic moods, exploring gesture through relational and sculptural movement, assembling new dances.

These are some of the things that Katherine will be drawing on in her classes. Through sensory work, improvisation and release-based material we will dance as listening, expanding, tuning in to places of initiation, desire and care within our individualities and togetherness, with plenty of space for play and dancing as we are.
