Class will begin with warming up individually using self-touch and some simple movement patterns. Through guided tasks we will bring our awareness to the pelvis, as a place of strength, support and connection. Using set and improvised material, we will explore opportunities to share weight, whether brief moments or longer, fuller exchanges. Although moving sensitively, the class will at times be energetic, including rolling, falling and running. As well as working with a partner, we will try out group scores, leading us to jamming with live music from Patrick Carpenter.

15:45 Arrival
