About  Workshop:

This is a workshop series that taps into some of the cerebral aspects of dance and movement. This is centered around building the ability to tell powerful stories through motivated movement. A combination of theory and practice where I will be working on concepts like Motivation, Presence, projection, empathy , gestures, personalisation and honesty in movement. This workshop focuses on shedding light on some of the often overlooked layers of dance through research, analysis, experimentation, exploration and practice.
