Yorkshire Movement and Dance

In the morning, Effie will offer space to enter class with a mindset of being unimpressive yet curious, across a landscape of improvised mobilisations and structured sequences. Giving time to check in with simplicity, and build up the technical challenge – taking the spine through curves, tilts and spirals, and playing with sensations which will likely include opposition, rebound, shift and suspension. Aiming to cultivate an atmosphere of support and possibility to energise one another as collaborators in the room. Expect to talk, sweat, count, smile, and mostly, encounter challenge and enjoyment whilst moving.

In the afternoon, Effie will lead a creative session – encouraging participants to create their own movement vignettes with a sense of play to the process.
