Professional Dance Class Launch 20th September!

Autumn 2010 promises to be an exciting one here for us at Chisenhale Dance Space. We have not one, not two, but THREE amazing choreographers inviting professional level artists to join them in exploring their artistic visions and ideas.

Professional classes will be returning to Chisenhale in September with Jean Abreu Dance and Melody Squire & Sols Dance Company. To celebrate our NEW Professional and Advanced Level classes we will be launching with:

One Day Intensive: Physical Extremes with Athina Vahla
Sunday 19th September:  11.00am – 4.00pm
£25 / £20 concession

This one day workshop is suitable for professional/ advanced level movement artists with no limits and open minds! Participants will explore their physicality through creative choreographic tasks and improvised themes, challenging their usual boundaries and how they use energy to unlock potential and apply this in composition.
