Flow with Gravity | Dancing Bodies | Home Practice with Stopgap Dance Company

Amy is joined by Hannah and they share an exploratory session designed for you to develop your sense of weight in relation to gravity.

About Dancing Bodies:
This season of Home Practice has been led by Thomas Goodwin and the three sessions he offers that are influenced by an experiential anatomy approach - which means that how you experience your own body is the starting point from where to explore movement. Sessions use human anatomy, imagery, exploration, and movement to discover more about the function and potential of the body. We hope these sessions provide an opportunity to dig deeper into your practice and investigate authentic movement.

About Home Practice:
Home Practice is a self-guided programme of inclusive contemporary dance classes and workshops that introduce a variety of approaches to inclusive dance practice. As the name suggests, all sessions are suitable to practice at home, wherever that may be.

Home Practice is not about imitating what happens in the studio during a typical contemporary dance class but aims to support dancers' continued process of learning whilst at home. All content is intended to be inclusive, however we at Stopgap realise that accessibility needs to be an ongoing conversation. If you have a suggestion regarding access and or would like to request an episode to be sign interpreted, please get in contact.

Home Practice highlights the solo experience in a class context, encouraging participants to own their own contemporary dance practice - free of over-critical comparison to others. It aims to build confidence for individual dancers to return to the studio when the time is right.
