Guest Artist Tom Goodwin leads Glasgow Pro Class on Thursday & Friday from Thursday 15 - Friday 23 May. Thursday & Friday classes now both take place in Queens Park Govanhill Church
Tom's Thursday class
I draw on a variety of somatic influences including Bartenieff Fundamentals, various release-based and floor work contemporary dance styles, Body Weather, Ido Portal Method, Tai Chi, and deep ecology practices.
Sessions consider both high physicality and deep softness which are explored through travelling floor work, movement pattern training and more extroverted material as the class progresses.
Motivation to move comes from current themes of interest which include nature & other animal references, deep time & hunter/ gatherer imaginings.
Tom's Friday class
Class begins with considering the wider context of place and weather, followed by an exploration of a variety of current themes. These may include references to nature, other animals, mammalian anatomy and hunter/ gatherer imaginings.
Practices for mobilisation, locomoting through space, learning about togetherness and touch work are placed throughout a session to support those themes.
There is often time given for reflection, talking and dancing as a way to process experiences.
