Join Sarah Elsworth for a dynamic workshop exploring GREEN SILENCE, a site-responsive dance project investigating our relationship to green spaces.
Through guided improvisation, group scores, and playful tasks, participants will explore how natural systems such as trees, migration, and collective organisms can inform the way we move and organise together.
Working with the original soundscore for Green Silence by Anita Clark (MOTTE), the workshop also includes short poetic writing tasks in response to the music, alongside learning a small amount of choreography from the project.
It is not required to have prior dance training, but curiosity, a willingness to physically connect and engage with others and concepts through movement is required.
Structure:
Open Contemporary Class (1.5 hours)
This open-level contemporary class offers a grounded yet expansive physical training experience, with a focus on fluid floorwork patterns and gentle somatic partnering practices. Together, we’ll explore efficient pathways through movement, building awareness of how the body efficiently travels, is supported yet soft, dynamic and connected.
