Workshops

Contemporary

I offer 2 styles of workshops for different age ranges. The structure of each workshop is the same, however the content and duration of the class is adapted specifically for the age group and ability. 

​

Workshop Style 1

Duration: 45 minutes - 1 hour

Suitable for: 12-18 years (secondary school/college)

This workshop includes a 10-15 minute warm up designed to stretch the muscles and increase the heart rate, leading into technique work.

Followed by either:

Chorography based session - Incorporating small creative tasks allowing students to explore taught choreography creatively.

Creative based session -  Students use a variety of stimuli to create their own movement, allowing students to engage creatively with how their own body moves.

The class ends with a 5-10 minute cool down. 

​

Workshop Style 2

Duration: 30 minutes

Suitable for: 6 - 8 years (KS1)

This workshop includes a 5-10 minute warm up designed specifically to increase heart rate and gently stretch muscles.

Followed by two Tasks. 

Task 1 - Designed to build confidence in using the voice with movement, and begin to create foundations in musicality, as well as understanding different styles of music. 

Task 2 -  Focuses on recognising/using different body parts, and exploring how they individually move whilst still being creative with their bodies.

This class ends with a 5 minute cool down.

​

Both workshop styles can be adapted to focus on a particular topic the students are learning about, or can just be for fun and a creative experience.
