He trained at Northern School of Contemporary Dance and has worked as a pe rformer and teacher for over 10 years. \n\nThroughout the past few years h e has been training in different movement disciplines- from Contact Improv isation and Yoga\, to Circus and Tai Chi - to gain a deeper understanding of the body and the power of moving with presence and awareness. \n\nHe te aches with a variety of different approaches to all ages and abilities\, w ith a focus on creating an inclusive and open environment in which partici pants can feel free and able to discover new ways of moving. A space of ‘serious play time’! \n\n \;\n\nThe focus of class will be on acce ssing and exploring our individual movement patterns\, progressing on to s imple exercises to come into contact. Working with imagery to discover fre edom in motion. Exploring the ‘Animal Spine’\, spiral pathways and bui lding momentum.\n\nExercises will alternate between contact and solo work to connect both to oneself and to the group as a whole. Emphasis will move on to improvised duets where we learn some pathways and techniques to ent er and leave a dance.\n\nThis is a space to move with the joy\, freedom an d connection we can experience in Movement with others.\nThe Jam\nA jam is an informal gathering of dancers. There is no teacher\, but space and tim e to develop skills and confidence. You are free to dance\, rest\, or sit and watch\, as you wish. The jam provides an opportunity to explore and in tegrate techniques you have learned\, and to find your own routes into dan cing.\n\nAt some jams a teacher will facilitate a score to follow such as a focused (silent) jam\, the Underscore (developed by Nancy Stark-Smith)\, or a blindfold (or eyes-closed) jam\, this will normally be advertised vi a our regular mailout – so sign-up if you want advance notice.\n\n Li ve musicians will improvise with the dancing at many of the jams.\n For more information\, please email info@contactdance.co.uk or contact the in dividual teachers.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://contactdance.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/20 12/01/feet6.jpg CATEGORIES:CI Class,CI Jam LOCATION:DMAC\, (4th Floor) Hamilton House\, 80 Stokes Croft\, Bristol\, BS 1 3QY\, United Kingdom GEO:51.4629;-2.58991 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=80 Stokes Croft\, Bristol\, BS1 3QY\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=DMAC\, (4th Floor) Ha milton House:geo:51.4629,-2.58991 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20170326T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
