Reclaim Festival: Powerful Bodies \u2013 A dance workshop to harness your inner fire

Back by popular demand, Powerful Bodies invites you to explore using dance and movement to embody power and fire. Led by Maria Tarokh, Choreographer and Company Director, the session shares the methods of Company SHE.
Using contemporary dance, the workshop takes a dynamic and expressive approach to movement, blending technique with improvisation and dance theatre exercises. You will learn choreography created to physicalise determination and release. Improvisation exercises will lead you into creating choreography phrases.
The workshop will include a range of dance exercises and phrases that will see movers gliding, shifting, turning, twisting. There will be high-energy moments alongside gentle movement and breathwork. Maria’s approach welcomes positive challenge whilst nurturing the comfort zones of your own movement.
Using the theme of body sovereignty, participants will learn techniques and skills to use for their own devising. The workshop is based on techniques used to create CROWN – Company SHE’s touring production.
Powerful Bodies encourages movers to feel excited about challenging themselves in whatever way they feel. It will be a space to let go of mind chatter and focus on the body and movement. Together, we will create a space to become the sovereigns of our bodies!
You don’t need dance experience to participate. If you have specific access needs, please get in touch with us at [email protected]. We will work with choreography, so although no movement experience is needed, a willingness to learn phrases and improvise will be helpful.
