Legitimate Bodies Dance Company:
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
This 2-hour workshop is a great opportunity to experience the work of the newly formed contemporary dance company “Legitimate Bodies”. The session starts with a release-based warm up that focuses on alignment, spine and floor work and culminates in a dynamically challenging sequence that emphasize the use of the body in the space. This is followed by a choreographic session in which the participants are encouraged to look at the space with its restrictions, whether imposed or chosen, as a primary source of movement. The whole workshop builds towards a structured improvisation derived from these ideas of spatial relationships. Relationships arise between two bodies and between the body and the surrounding architectural space.
Price: £7 regular fee / £5 concession

Title: Breathing Space
“A solo created about the urge of breathing, the breath which fills the space, giving resonant sounding form to the swinging body, from public to private states of beings, very simple activities that come one after the other in a day-like timing, scanned by syncopated rhythm of the movement so that an irregularity between silence and acceleration is unavoidable.”
Price: £7 regular fee / £5 concession

The Master Art in Public will be performing a series of interventions and actions. The MA has evolved from current complex concerns for the role of art / artists in a changing society.
It engages in the interrogation of the territories of art in civil society and the modes of practice to inhabit and develop them. The programme seeks to develop testing modes of working that are dialogic, participatory, interventionist and collaborative in intention and structure. These practices are interconnected with social movements of globalised, networked societies.
