Kate Brown is teaching two short courses at Morely College in London during Spring/Summer 2022:
Dance Improvisation 3A 25th April to 23rd May
Dance Improvisation 3B 6th June to 4th July
Mondays 4.00pm to 5.45pm
How can we use current restrictions as a stimulus and tool in our making? How can we find room environmentally and imaginatively?
The classes will start with simple structures and exercises to warm up, leading to more expanded dancing, and periods for shared reflection.
Booking essential.

Contact Improvisation is a structured, but improvised, partner dance based on communication through touch. The technique develops physical awareness and coordination, pleasure in movement and bravery in exploring the possibilities of dance.
We will start with the basics, respecting the special care we will need to begin again working closely with other people after Lockdown.
Day Light Savings - A series of classes on Hampstead Heath exploring movement in and through the natural environment, Contact Improvisation and other structures for improvisation and interaction.
On May 19th 2022 the sun will set at 8:52pm, giving us plenty of time to explore having bodies on Hampstead Heath.
I’ll offer structures for interaction with the Heath, Interaction with other bodies and Interaction with your senses.
We will take advantage of spongy grass to practice falling, trees to practice climbing, hills to practice rolling, large open spaces to practice traveling and forests to practice walking with our eyes closed.
I will drop a pin each week for a meeting point. Bring a smallish back pack for your stuff.
In the event of heavy rain we will shift to an alternative day, but we will work through light rain.
4 Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30pm : May 19, 26 and June 2, 9.
£35 / £30 concession for all 4 sessions
