Class today is Contemporary Dance (Accessible) with Anna Seymour
The aim of this class is to explore what anchors us, what holds us, and what gives us joy in our dancing through some somatic and touch based practices. There will be space for high energy movement and finding rest within movement. This class may give people an insight of Anna’s work as a Deaf dancer working with Candoco Dance Company in London (a company of disabled and non disabled dancers). This class will include guided touch work beginning with self touch and working up to working in pairs. It will build up into some more dynamic movement scores. It will also include space for discussion. This class may include some conversations about dance and disability from an UK perspective
This class is suitable for people with experience in dance and movement, for Deaf and disabled dancers/performance artists, and will be accessible for all bodies and energy levels.
