Open Practice is time in the studio to come together to practice, work and move and dance as we wish, in each other’s company.

This is an open, non-led practice space where one of us might enjoy improvising, while someone else spends time training in a different movement practice, and another tests out a new choreographic idea. Or someone might come along to rehearse an existing work or plan a workshop.

A GATHER UP host will be present and will hold the space for our different movement practices and work to co-exist. 

The host will make room for a sharing of work/practice and questions/feedback in the last half hour of the session, if anyone present opts to take part in this.

These sessions run monthly on a Monday afternoon, after Morning Class, with hope that this could be an opportunity for a full day of dancing practice.

WHO IS OPEN PRACTICE FOR?

Artists and practitioners working with contemporary dance, improvisation, choreography or other movement practices.

We can have up to 8 people working in the studio.
