Masterclass series
For dance practitioners, teachers and graduate students. 16 years plus
RECONNECTING: a reminder why we dance
Beginning our master class series is a one day intensive, practical workshop with Rosemary Lee focusing on finding ease, openness and attunement. There is also a lunchtime opportunity to find out more about Rosemary's personal approach to her large scale site specific work, films and installations.
"I hope to encourage the feeling of coming 'home' in our bodes, reaffirming our inner energy and joy in moving and unlocking our expressive potential. We will spend time finding a grounded sense, coupled with lightness and buoyancy, and leave feeling more attuned, expanded and at home". Rosemary Lee
Early booking is recommended as places are limited. Please bring a packed lunch.
