CONTEMPORARY TRAINING
Every morning, the residency will start with contemporary dance training led through breath work, guided improvisation, crossings, floor work and handstand training.
Expect to throw yourself in and out of the floor, take risks & build up your confidence. This class aims to improve stamina, strength, body alignment, connection and coordination. Laura and Sara invite students to open up their creativity whilst sensing movement from different parts of their body, using their energy to connect & share with the other people in the space.

CREATIVE LAB
Every afternoon will be dedicated to some research, creation and group conversation drawing from themes decided by the group. Over the past 4 years, Laura has developed a “tool box” of guided improvisations, company repertoire and creative tasks based on art work, images, vocal & visual scores, poems & creative writings. This method encourages participants to share their own experiences and generate authentic movement.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Laura and Sara are interested in researching movement with participants towards a specific creation. In week 2, the research from the Creative Lab will be crafted into a performance that will be shared at the end of the residency.
