Greenwich Dance is delighted to present a beautifully-crafted workshop for 7-11 year olds. The workshop is led by dance artist Sioned Huws, and draws on Sioned’s travels through Japan. Participants will be invited to take on the role of explorers and to move through the Borough Hall as if it were a place of adventure and magic. You will encounter landscapes such as forests, rivers and mountains, and the animals that inhabit them. Running for one afternoon, the workshop is perfect for children who enjoy moving and imagining what might be...

In addition, all those children who attend this workshop, called ‘Of Landscapes Remembered Aomori,’ will be given the opportunity to be part of an exciting performance at Greenwich Dance in April 2011, which will bring together dancers and musicians from Japan.

Shelley's class is a fast-paced technique class merging elements of the Cuban modern technique with contemporary movement. The Cuban technique incorporates the Graham technique as its foundation and through inclusions of added undulations and spinal manipulations forces the dancer to master the shifting of weight through space. The class is highly physical with travelling sequences that demand a sense of attack and good musical interpretation.

It is a unique form of dance that is highly experiential and encourages individuality as well as joy in movement.
