Preparatory class/workshop with Lauren Potter

We will be warming our bodies using exploratory ideas and movement proposals, involving a strong emphasis on weight and gravity using the breath as a movement source and the floor as a partnership to aid the transference, shift and momentum of weight with an ease of connection through the limbs, whilst still maintaining a dynamic and articulate presence. There will be particular emphasis on the play between inner listening and active response investigating the tools that help balance and sustain multiple awareness. There will be improvisatory elements and a connection to the tasks and proposals involved in the making process of the solo work 'Because I Can'.
