S1 Ep4 Dance workshop (Weight and Gravity)

In this session we explore one of the most fundamental forces in dance: gravity. Together we investigate how weight shapes every movement, from the subtle balancing of Steve Paxton’s Small Dances to the dynamic play of falling and catching yourself. You’ll be guided through exercises that invite you to feel your centre of gravity, to yield or resist weight, and to notice how balance is constantly negotiated in the body.

We expand this exploration into movement with the ground, furniture, and even the walls around you, introducing ideas from contact improvisation, release technique, and somatic practices like Body-Mind Centering. You’ll also experiment with the “weight of consciousness,” sensing how holding or remembering weight changes your awareness and your movement possibilities.

By the end, you’ll have a richer felt understanding of how weight supports, challenges, and inspires dance, whether you’re walking, rolling, balancing, or simply standing still.
