S1 Ep5 Dance workshop (Balance and Imbalance)

S1 Ep5 Dance workshop (Balance & Imbalance)

In this session we explore balance as both a physical and conceptual experience, how we find stability and how we lose it. Building from last week’s work on Weight & Gravity, this episode looks at balance as an ever-changing negotiation rather than a fixed position.

You’ll be guided through a series of experiments: finding your own centre of balance, tipping, twisting, and reaching beyond your base of support. We’ll play with different dynamics, stillness and suspension, speed and softness, to notice how balance shifts with every choice we make.

Rather than drawing from established dance techniques, this session invites you to explore your own ways of balancing and destabilising, to ask how risk and control shape your dancing. Is balance a point of safety, or a moment of daring? How do you balance your references, your emotions, your sense of self within dance?

Through this, we continue developing a personal and felt understanding of dance, one that’s grounded, unstable, and alive.
