ECSTATIC ANIMALS
Sat 29th Nov 19:30 - 22:30 dance/workshop/party
ECSTATIC ANIMALS (…come out at night) £21
​
Open to ALL! No dance experience needed. Pro dancers you will love it too.
My idea for ECSTATIC ANIMALS started from my participation in ecstatic dance spaces - the difference for me is that I want you to be able to crawl on the floor, dance in partnership, be lifted to the sky, and intimately and playfully engage with others without feeling like you owe anyone anything - it’s kinda like extreme ecstatic dance. For us to create this space safely - both physically and emotionally I want to pass on knowledge that I have gathered as a professional dancer and somatic facilitator that has spent over a decade working in the studio environment with other human beings. I reckon, I reckon it’s time to play.
PART 1 - Technique.
The session will start with professional dancer/coach Harriet Waghorn sharing techniques and tools from her career as a professional dancer specialising in moving in partnering and authentic connection (inspired by Contact improvisation, contemporary and ballroom).
She will offer techniques and tools in how to share a dynamic and present space with others, how to communicate in flow and physical connection with others in partnership, and how to hold your own when you want your space and nobody else to touch you...
PART2 - Jam and party
The space will then open up and become a big ol’ party where there is space to fully dance, connect and play. The studio is beautiful. Come.
