The Winter Intensive
From the 2nd
– 6th January
The intensive consists of daily classes, workshops and
lectures designed to inspire and support dancers and
physical performers to fulfil their unique potential. Offering
access to high level training in a safe, happy and stimulating
environment from which to express and expand.
The Winter Intensive is an injection of positivity and
motivation popular with dancers and dance lovers as a great
way to begin the year. An inclusive and supportive
environment provides the basis for encouraging a nurturing
of the individual within a mindful and co operative group.
Dedicated and specialist guidance together with exposure to
some of the worlds finest examples of contemporary dance,
art and theatre brings participants to a deeper understanding
of dance, both physically, spiritually and intellectually.
We will be spending our fourth year of The Winter Intensive in
the Citizens Theatre Glasgow, with a programme carefully
designed to provide a broad yet focused course which aims
to unleash the spontaneity which exists within us all.
I look forward to beginning 2015 with you and with the dance.
