Back by popular demand Dora Frankel offers a now 90 minute workshop exploring and generating unfamiliar movement, inspired by some of the darker corners of ourselves and also the macabre tales of Edgar Allan Poe. Tales such as The Man of the Crowd, The Strange Case of M. Waldemar and The Descent into the Maelstrom – stories and themes that are perennially relevant.
Ideal for both experienced professional movers, dancers, performance artists and novices - all you need is curiosity.
