Monday 25th June – Wednesday 27th June 2012; 11:30-13:30
Morning workshops with Marina Collard
The class begins with a slow exploration of the breath, the cavities in the body and the fluidity of the motion of the breath. We pay attention to the midline leading to finding connection through the whole skeletal system, connective tissue system and the skin. In bringing the whole body into a state of awareness, we continue this exploration in moving. The class has a clear sense of progression, encouraging the dancer to listen to their own sense of weight in the moment of moving and to be playful with their musicality.
