About
Ben’s class begins quietly, exploring alignment and structural awareness, then progresses through both formal and improvised exercises towards constructed phrases and improvisational suggestions. He frequently uses imagery to exemplify ideas and in normal circumstances would encourage the use of touch and partnering at intervals during class.
Choreographer/Director Ben Wright is an Artistic Co-Director at Candoco Dance Company, Artistic Director of his own company, bgroup, and former Associate Artistic Director (2014–17) of Skånes Dansteater, Sweden. He made his Royal Opera debut in 2016 as choreographer for Boris Godunov, directed by Richard Jones. In the 2019/20 Season he directs and choreographs The Lost Thing, a co-production between The Royal Opera and Candoco.

COVID-19
Studio classes must follow social distancing rules, please keep a 2 metre distance where possible. Due to reduced capacity studio class tickets are very limited.
Masks must be worn around the Dance City building which you may remove once inside the studio. There is a possibility that you will be asked to keep your mask on during class. Go straight to your studio when you arrive, and show your E-ticket to the teacher using your phone or print out from home. The café remains closed for now. Drinking fountains, lockers and showers are currently out of use to reduce risk of contamination. Please bring your own bottles of water, yoga mats, dance shoes and any other items as Dance City cannot supply these.
Do not attend Dance City if you have possible Covid 19 symptoms. Inform us immediately if you have attended and develop Covid 19, so that we can implement Track and Trace. We are taking every reasonable precaution to protect the health and safety of our staff and building users.
