Groundwork

This workshop is for anyone who would like to move around on the floor in different ways, crawling, rolling, sliding, jumping, cartwheeling. It offers whole body development and awareness. We will also play quite a few partner and group games. Drawing from contemporary dance, acrobatics, capoeira, contact impro, hip hop and breakdance.

The idea is about whole body development and awareness. We will use many different partner and group games. These playful methods can develop your ability to move freely and find more flow in movement.

We will take a look at different cartwheel variations, rolls, support techniques
and basic jumps. Elements will be sequenced and we will search for transitions from one movement into the other.

I recommend wearing long pants or leggings, and a tshirt or long sleeve tshirt.
