Partner work, breath and spirals
Hello dear movers!
We would love to have your physical presence on October 17th to dance, breath and explore together again in the 3 dimensional space.
This workshop is led by Pete Guy Spencer (DE) and Marie Chabert (UK/FR).
We will start warming up by attending to our breath in relationship to our sense of weight. In the act of giving and receiving weight, ‘breathing with’ and listening will encourage a sense of tuning in and synchronicity between partners, supporting ease of movement and momentum.
We will then move on to expand the breath from a core-distal perspective, reaching out in space from the center in all directions, leading us to spiral into space, in and out of contact.
We will embody few simple patterns and lifts to explore with our fixed partner.

Partner work and regulations
We will work with fixed partners.
You are recommended to come with a partner you already share personal space with. If not, you will have the option to either work with a fixed partner with some safety precautions (such as washing hands and wearing a mask), or approach the material as a soloist.
