Contemporary with Tara Dalli

10:00-11:15

Tara’s class maintains a playful approach to movement with curiosity and child-like imagination, to warm up the body and the mind with simple structures intended to find our focus, increase our heart-rates, centre our awareness and improve movement improvisation. Through various physical tasks and limitations, participants will be lead through exploration of different qualities of movement, with special attention on the concepts of time and space. This class offers a platform for each dancer to determine their focus - whether it be searching for new grooves and sensations, or on refining and clarifying coordinations.
