Contemporary Improvers with Adrian Look
Autumn 2025
About Contemporary Improvers with Adrian Look
Classes start on Wednesday 17 September and run until Wednesday 10 December 2025 (excluding Wednesday 29 October due to half term)
Work with increased physicality and develop a more dynamic approach to movement.
This class is designed to build upon the foundations of our introduction course, allowing you to expand your skills and explore the art of contemporary dance even further.
Our progressive approach is influenced by the techniques of Cunningham and release-based contemporary styles. Cunningham technique emphasises the movement of the spine through curves, tilts, twists, and arches. Incorporation of release technique encourages flowing movements that focus on breath.
Dance artist Adrian Look will guide you through the class, helping you develop your skills and technique, accompanied by live music from James Taylor. You will have the opportunity to explore your own styles and approach to movement through a choreographed phrase that will be taught in class.
