Body Room Landscape

A one day workshop on the creation of imagery, movement

and performance in relation to constructed environments within the studio.

The workshop will begin with an investigative approach to warming up the body and senses,

moving in relation to various surfaces and structures. We will extend these experiences through improvisational scores to create a dialogue with others and the existing and constructed spaces in the studio. Exploring key concepts such as place, framing, dynamics and duration, building an understanding of how we perceive, occupy space and compose. Creating a landscape within which an event can take place.

This workshop will encourage an individual sense of play and invention.

All levels of experience welcome.
