Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot runs dance sessions on Zoom which recall the spirit of the CI@Laban and Goldsmiths sessions which were run in South-East London:
MONDAY EVENINGS (8, 15, 22, 29 2020)
5.30-6.30pm
SOLO SKILLS
This session is a 1h taught class which aims at bringing us back in touch with our dancing and explorative body, and at learning new skills. It combines learning patterns or principles which help us making space in the body, having agency in our movement choices, as well engaging with open-ended tasks or puzzles which open up our improvisational body and mind and our realm of possibilities. It is recommended to have a 1.8/2m x 2m space to move available, but not necessary. I also include your homely environment, and adaptations to space and to your individual body and its condition.
6.30-8pm
"JAMMING REMOTELY"
In this lightly guided session, which features a live musician every two weeks, you are invited to find your dancing body and relate to others through movement, the intermediate of our screens, and a bit of imagination. Proposing frameworks through which reading our movement and letting a collective feeling emerge, the session usually ends with a short structure which gives us a chance to witness and appreciate each other's presence, dance or experience.
Payment for these sessions is on a sliding scale (suggested £3-£9 according to your means and the number of sessions you join on the day) to be made on:

WEDNESDAY - Moving with Penny Chivas 6pm BST
An hour of home based improvisation drawing on somatic practices and experiential anatomy. We will seek to embrace our current spaces and see them as new opportunities. As best as possible, an inclusive practice. Donation based class.

Feldenkrais with Simonetta
last block of four classes 3rd/10th/17th/24th June
Wednesdays 2pm- 3pm/ 3.15- 4.15
For more info: simonettaalessandri@gmail.com 0780523916
---------------------------------------------
Feldenkrais is an educational method focusing on learning and movement that promotes self-development. Lead only by vocal instructions from the teacher, we explore sequences of movement connected to functional themes, such as turning, folding and extending Gently and in our own time we explore our internal sensation to discover new and more efficient ways of moving. We will use this awareness to improve our posture, balance and coordination. With Feldenkrais we learn to move more freely with greater ease and grace, we can improve our performance in dance and in drama and relieve tension and muscular pain.
Two classes about jaw and spine and two about upper back and shoulders
35£ for 4 classes or 10£ drop in
Its first come, first served!
Few places remain. Its first come, first served!
====
Solo dancing in quarantine! Feldenkrais into improvisation
With a short Feldenkrais class, by observing our sensations and valuing our personal insights, we will clarify our choices in order to promote efficiency, freedom and new possibilities in our physical organization. The embodied experience of Feldenkrais, the discovery of new pathways, will inspire and support our solo dancing. Continuing to trust our sensations, we will work with larger and more complex movement using the space that is available to us. In a state of playful learning, the emergence of new possibilities will give us a reinvigorating sense of ownership and pleasure in our dancing. At the end we will come together in front of the screen to share and reflect about the experience.
I’m proposing a block of three classes
3 classes 25 £ - 2 classes 18£ - 10£ drop in 3 classes 25 £ - 2 classes 18£ - 10£ drop in
Few places remain. Its first come, first served!

Every Thursday at 6 pm Laura Lorenzi is facilitating an Improvisation Class.
Is it possible to find comfort/interest in 'doing' and 'paying attention to what we are doing'?
Using elements of somatic work and imagery, the class will guide us towards a place where we can experiment and get surprised. Motivated by our own desire for movement and supported by the presence of others, that despite the distance, are dancing with us.

Global Underscore 20 June 2020 www.globalunderscore.com
register on the website
In preparation for the Global Underscore on 20 June
Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot & Colleen Bartley and are proposing:
Two online Talk-Through of the Underscore Thursday 4 July and Thursday 11 July, two Online Underscores Friday 5 and 12 June / 6.30-9pm AND a Socially Distanced in person Underscore 12 July in South London limited to 6 people.
The online sessions will be held via Zoom.
The Underscore is a long-form dance practice developed by Nancy Stark Smith, which has been evolving since the 1990's. It originally offered a framework to sustain the practice of Contact Improvisation and jamming, and to incorporate CI into a wider field of dance and improvisation forms. Many people find that this score, originally non-prescriptive, is very supportive structure to study, enjoy, research, develop their practice, and keep the spark up.
If you have never practiced the Underscore before or if you'd like to refresh your approach of it, we recommend you come to at least one talk through. Having had some Contact Improvisation experience in the flesh also really helps grounding the practice. Especially in these circumstances where we deal both with new and unknown materialities, and relie a lot on former experiences and physical memories!
If you'd like to see and hear more before joining, here is an interview of Nancy realized by Marlon Barrios Solano

Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot will facilitate the 5 June, and Colleen Bartley will facilitate the 12 June, online with David Leahy playing live from his home. We look forward to get into it with you!
RE- Socially Distanced In Person Underscore:
A Socially Distanced In Person Underscore will be facilitated on 12 June by Anne-Gaelle Thiriot in South-East London, at the same time as the Online Underscore. We will connect energetically between on and offline Underscores.
Please note that it is for the locals only and is LIMITED TO 6 PEOPLE, as to stay in line with government guidance as well as to keep us and others as safe as possible while opening out again. This is the first and cautious step to start bringing part of the practice in 3-D again and it will require adaptations. Hopefully there will be more.
