08/03/23 – Floorwork with Hannah Thomas

Wednesday 8th March 6:00pm-7:30pm – Laban Studio 9

Class Description

Hannah’s workshop will be largely floorwork based and will explore how releasing into the ground can allow for speed and fluidity. The session will use repetition and progression as a way of increasing familiarity with the material, and will explore the more challenging elements of groundwork, including balances on the hands, going upside down and taking risks.

Throughout the workshop, Hannah will be sharing an insight into her research in floor connection, looking at how we can achieve maximum efficiency and fluidity within the movement.

The research can be tailored to meet the ability and desire of each participant, therefore the class is open to individuals with different levels of experience. Curiosity is welcomed and group energy is celebrated.

Bring long trousers and a long sleeved t-shirt, as well as lots of water because it will get sweaty.
