Movement Session: Tim Rubidge February 5, 2007

This workshop will involve an introduction to Tim’s way of tuning the body, followed by an exploration of how he works with improvisation to establish choreography.

Tim is preparing for a performance in the Dance Lab on 10 February where he will be gathering together new work.

Tim’s voice as an artist is distinct, full of individual observation and reflection. His qualities of devising thought-provoking and engaging work are timeless. During his long career he has made and toured solo and company work nationally and internationally; has led challenging and ground-breaking projects in mental health, prisons, with learning disability, alongside large-scale community performances; and more recently with Miranda Tufnell as Body Stories. Tim is also in an emerging relationship with performing artists in South Africa. All have informed and inspired a great inventiveness, and a real, tangible sense of humanity.

“I am currently walking a tightrope between pursuing a heightened state of improvisation – where the body and its perception are the dance – and exploring a relationship with an awareness of the narratives that emerge”.

Morning professional classes are £5 a session or free to Dance Connect members and take place at Dance City.
