improvisation workshop with nuria guiu
This event has now ended

Thursday 6th February 2020
6.30-8.30pm

Studio 3, Northern School of Contemporary Dance

 

Catalan choreographer/performer Núria Guiu teaches a free workshop based on yoga and meditation practice leading to improvisation and dance. 

We will work from a sensitive body as an engine to find and generate movement. We will explore and allow the body to travel from subtle and invisible sensations to the extreme and visible expression of it.

The workshop brings together three areas of Núria's research: yoga, meditation and dance, combining various references, techniques and encounters with collaborators over the past few years.

Open to full-time dance students, this workshop is a prequel to Núria’s performance of Likes in FORECASTING/ Likes | Double Bill at Riley Theatre on Friday 7 February, 7.30pm. Likes was selected for Aerowaves 2018.

Tickets:FREE
