| A unique opportunity to work with one of the dance worlds finest practitioners of Release and Anatomical Image work in one of the most beautiful parts of Scotland. The Studio On The Green is a custom built professional dance studio on the edge of the market town of Selkirk. There are hills to walk on just a few minutes away and a camp site beside the river. There are also many small hotels and inexpensive B & B's nearby. Selkirk is a one hour drive from Edinburgh and one and a half hours from Carlisle. Selkirk has a deli and a range of small shops and restaurants. |
| The
Workshop The focus of this workshop will be on the moving body. Anatomy will be given a context in which it can be experienced and immediately applied. Experiencing anatomy through our senses leads to in-depth and personal understanding of our patterns of use. Understanding use helps us release unnecessary tensions to access deeper supporting structures of the body-mind and expand range of movement and thought. Through imagery-guided movement explorations, and improvisational scores, we can integrate this knowledge into creative physical practice and daily use. We can develop a personal movement language that is clear and articulate, efficient and effective. The aim is to push the edges of limitation and ability, and to affirm movement in all its forms. |
