Pro Class with Jack Anderson

Guest Artist Jack Anderson | Thursday 13 & Thursday 20 March | 9.30am to 10.45am | Queen's Park Govanhill Church

This class aims to offer dancers what they need to set them up for the day in a way that suits their own body and mind. A range of useful physical tools will be suggested with a sense of invitation. Everything is optional - a framework through which to exercise choice, interpretation, empowerment and pleasure in moving.

Starting with breath, we'll move through a series of floor, static and traveling exercises - taking a released approach to the fundamentals of technique. Through repetition of these small chunks of movement, we'll aim to deepen, refine and relax our experience of them.

By grounding into familiar patterns of alignment and co-ordination (referencing the work of Ross McKim, developed from Robert Cohan, as well as other contemporary dance vocabularies), we'll aim to make space in the body - in pursuit of a big, rangy, sculptural physicality full of freedom and power.

We'll then channel this into some extended phrases shifting through space. These will challenge our technique while giving us the opportunity to play with expression through textures, dynamics and musicality - and let us really dig in to the sheer joy of dancing together.
