(For dancers and non-dancers alike, anyone with an interest in movement)
Belgian dance tutor: Pierre Bastin

Pierre Bastin invites dancers and non-dancers, young and old, to explore the link between memory and movement, specifically how people, dancers and performers can be connected by memories. The workshop will explore different ways of dancing together looking to our memories that have become physical through play, rhythm and space, the group will become symbiotic and learn from collective expression and movement styles. Anyone with an interest in movement is welcome at these workshops - the goal is to discover new dance horizons together. Above all, come with a curiosity and an openness for dance and for others.

Pierre concluded his formal studies in dance at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp in 2020, the same year he co-founded the collective Sidewards, he has since worked with Jan Martens, Tuur Marinus and Rosas/Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker.

Tickets are £60 and include two half day workshop sessions and a solo performance of ‘After All’ (Pierre Bastin & Astrid De Haes) exploring our relationship with nature, performed by Pierre Bastin.

This workshop is now scheduled for Spring 2025 - exact dates to be confirmed soon.
