Inspired by the creative processes used by Peeping Tom; this workshop will provide tools and techniques for making new material and accessing individual creativity.
By restricting participants options Jos aims to open their creativity to make new and diverse material, often resulting in surprising, funny or touching solos and duets. This workshop is for experienced dancers. Participation is free and by application.
SAT 10 OCTOBER from 10AM—1PM
