About Tanztheater Beginners with Adrian Look

Classes start on Wed 18th Sep 2024 and run until Wed 4th December 2024 (excluding Wed 30th Oct due to half term)

Develop expression through movement with Tanztheater

Tanztheater is a dance technique that combines elements of ballet and contemporary dance in a dramatic environment. It was developed by iconic choreographer Pina Bausch.

Starting with a short game, you will learn to combine technique and improvisation to express a varied range of emotions. This will be followed by exercises to enhance body awareness and musicality accompanied by live music from composer and musician Thomas Broda.

You will have the opportunity to tie everything together with choreography. It is a technical class, encouraging individual expression and a general level of fitness.
