Workshops

This section offers a range of tools to relate to music through the body. We will explore how we can embody a sound, its quality or the emotion evoked, and experiment with the dialogue between our movement and the music. How can the music be seen and the dance heard?

When two bodies share a space and time, there is an inherent relationship between them. This section explores the intuitive sensations and actions that emerge from this connection and how these can influence our artistic choices in improvisation and creation.

A fundamental aspect of our artistic practice is the relationship between the body and the imagination. We will explore how we can transform our bodies through imagined shapes and textures, and use this process to create movement sequences.

While most choreographers work alone, the As They Strike collective is distinguished by its co-creation practice, which comes with its own benefits and challenges. We will offer participants the opportunity to experience different collaboration styles and a variety of creative roles.

In order to reach diverse audiences, the collective works primarily in public spaces, rather than in theatres. We will share how a space can both inspire and restrict the creative process - there are joys and surprises when working within constraints!
