Most dance learning involves taking instructions from a teacher or leader and trying to imitate their movements. But there are other approaches.

In release techniques, dancers focus on relaxation and on using images to influence how the body moves. Tai Chi also focuses on relaxation and the internal state of the body. In this workshop Andy Solway will use ideas from release and from Tai Chi to help participants improve the quality of their movement, enrich their movement ideas and give them confidence in improvising. We will then take these ideas into working in pairs and in contact.

Andy Solway has learned release technique with Mary Fulkerson, Alex Howard and Gaby Agis. He has studied Tai Chi with Phil Muil, Emma Westlake, Karel and Eva Koshkuba, Master Chen Ying Jun, Master Chen Bing and Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang. He has studied contact with Steve Paxton, Kirsty Simson, Nita Little and many others.
