SPRING AWAKENING

Sunday 24th March
2.00-4.00 pm

Studio 1, The Cockpit
Gateforth Street
Marylebone
London NW8 8EH

Cost: £5-£10, whatever you can afford to cover cost of rental.

In these sessions we aim to create a safe space, a crucible for creative exploration between the arts, with movement as the common denominator.

If you are a dancer, teacher, choreographer or actor, musician, singer or artist, with an interest in dance and with some dance experience, this creative workshop will give you the opportunity to refresh and expand your dance skills and vocabulary, inspire new ideas and develop your choreographic voice in a supportive and creative atmosphere.

The workshop will be led by Bryony Williams and Elizabeth Blake, founding directors of SpiralArts, who are both dancers, teachers and choreographers with many years of experience.

The session will begin with a warm/up and end with a close down, and will include some SpiralDance; this is an accessible and organic approach to dance/movement which integrates Eastern and Western principles, explores spiral pathways and uses the elements, earth, air, fire and water, as source points for creativity.
