Since their Catalytic Conversation event, the desire to meet in person will now see Simone, Christine and guest practitioner Neil Callaghan connect together physically for the first time in many years. They will share practice relating to aspects of Body Weather dance training. The first 3 days will consist of studio research with the final 2 days being an open public workshop to share their collective Body Weather practice and current concerns with a wider group. This residency forms part of Christine Quoiraud’s research project which involves reconnecting with numerous Body Weather practitioners.
