This workshop explores the interplay between gravity, weight and movement. 
Participants will engage with techniques involving added weight to discover new balances, momentum and rhythms, examining how these forces shape movement. 

Through slow-tempo exercises, we’ll deepen muscular effort and create new memories of energy and movement pathways. We will also work with deconstructed breaking techniques, reverse-engineering key elements to uncover the body’s potential and explore new spaces, possibilities and imagery for movement. By the end, participants will use their newfound sense of gravity to generate movement patterns using only their body weight.
