Professional Contemporary Class
Thursday 8 December | 09:30 – 11:00 | Free | BOOK HERE
Join Steven for a Company Class where he will share his practice. Steven teaches a release-based class that is comprised of physical full-bodied exercises encouraging efficient use of the body and dynamic performance quality. The class will move through several taught phrases where the energy initiation through the torso creates a complex movement vocabulary challenging the participant’s natural understanding of flow.
