Floorwork with Thomas Page
Laban Studio 10
Class Description
Easing into the class, we’ll start with a gentle floor-based warm-up using the breath to support soft articulations of the body.
Continuing on the floor we will move through a series of exercises that incorporate an exploration of puzzles, playfulness, and preparations to build towards a longer phrase with a focus on maximising movement.
Types of moves you can expect include spinal articulations, knee work, and a penguin slide…or two!
Dancers will be encouraged and supported to find their individual flow in class, allowing the taught movement to be digested in a way that works best for them.
Please wear long sleeves, long trousers, and if you can bring knee pads with you!
