Dancing the Self – (Un) Covered Research Workshop

A workshop on body ownership and story-telling delivered over three stages. This workshop, for women only, explored body ownership, choice and empowerment. Each session began with a technique class based on release, graham and Cunningham contemporary dance techniques; building strength, flexibility and creative expression. After which participants would have space for open discussion, improvisation and creative tasks. The workshop provided the basis of research for Zosia Jo’s new performance project (Un)Covered.

The final stage was Dancing the Self – Continued Workshop. In this workshop, participants practiced more complex phrases of movement than in the level 1 workshop and continued practicing somatic exercises for connecting mind and body. They also practiced improvisation and tasks to create short dance sequences.
