A event held at Bristol Old Vic on Monday 9th December. The event starts at 10:00.
GATHER UP invites different Bristol-based practitioners to lead morning classes to support the continuous training and development of experienced movers and professional dance artists. Morning Class takes place weekly on a Monday morning in term time.
Time:
Studio is open from 9.40am, class time is 10-11.30am, with time to stretch and meet 11.30-12noon.
Jan-Ming’s classes will draw from an improvisation-based approach informed by her background in somatics, dance/physical theatre, and her ongoing practices in Daoist internal energy arts, Capoeira and Contact Improvisation.
She will use anatomical references as well as our perceived relation to gravity to guide the direction of our energy as we begin to warm up our physical/emotional space inside and outside our bodies. Responding to the individuals in the class, she will offer a mixture of slower paced somatic scores as well as faster paced travelling improv scores. We will set up our bodily intelligence to respond and notice the speed of attention and capacity at which we choose to traverse the space between each other.
Depending on time, there will be some invitations to use touch/contact which will be clearly demonstrated and alternative options will always be possible. Choice and consent will be a key element of the exercises. All material is offered so that each dancer can attend to their own particular needs and body choices. Translation is encouraged so that material may look different for each person.
