Venue, Timing and Cost
On Sunday afternoons in February, we'll ride out into the countryside near Oxford on our bicycles, and dance together in the landscape. Afterwards, there's the opportunity for a hot drink at a local pub.
This is a facilitated dance session, and we'll use improvised dance including techniques from our research at Dance in the Park (see this article https://andrewdance.org/contact-improvis...) - and the landscape itself - to dance with and through. Example of landscape dance here: https://andrewdance.org/contact-improvis...
If it's raining then we won't be going! In order to participate then you need to register - see below.
Please wear or bring warm clothing that you don't mind getting dirty, and some waterproofs/suitable footwear too. We'll be using natural surfaces with which we'll contact. Bring water or a hot drink/biscuits.
