Tuesday 27 June | 10:00-11:30 | Company Class | Free | BOOK HERE
Jen will lead a workshop/class based around her practice of blending Scottish Step dance with Flamenco footwork and movement – sharing new phrases created to a jig time. This can be done with or without shoes.
Come and learn a little of each style before we blend them together and perhaps even throw in some contemporary moves along the way.
Friday 30 June | 16:00-17:00 | Residency Sharing | Free | BOOK HERE
The week will culminate in an artist led conversation surrounding ideas we played with and what was discovered during the week. Come and meet the artists, hear what we have been exploring and ask any questions. This conversation may or may not include demonstrations (to be decided).
