Friday BLOCK 3- Professional Contemporary Class: Aya Kobayashi at Kinning Park Complex
Professional Contemporary Class by Barrowland Ballet and The Work Room SUMMER 2023 BLOCK 3: 8 - 30 June. Led by Aya Kobayashi at Kinning Park Complex on FRIDAYS
The Work Room & Barrowland Ballet co-run weekly classes for the professional dance community in Glasgow on Thursday & Friday mornings.
Class is led by Aya Kobayashi with occasional guest teachers. Started in 2018 in response to the lack of professional-level contemporary classes in the city,Pro Class provides a space for independent dance artists to come together to dance and sustain practice. Our aim is for these classes to be accessible to a wide range of physicalities.
The classes operate on a Pay-What-You-Can sliding scale from £0 > £5 and should be booked in advance via the Brown Paper Tickets links below.
The 2023 Summer Term consists of three blocks of classes and runs from Thursday 20 April to Friday 30 June.
BLOCK 1: 20 April - 28 April
Led AYA KOBAYASHI at Rankin Hall, Scottish Operas building on Elmbank Crescent
BLOCK 2: 4 May - 2 June
Led by Guest Artists (TBA) at St Ninians (THURSDAY) and Kinning Park Complex (FRIDAY)
BLOCK 3: 8 June - 30 June
AYA KOBAYASHI at St Ninians (THURSDAY) and Kinning Park Complex (FRIDAY)
A different approach is taken to the classes on Thursdays & Fridays:
THURSDAYS
9.30 - 10.45am: St Ninians Church, Albert Drive, Pollokshields
The class includes both set materials and improvisations to train the clarity and embodiment through release based technique. We start with gentle way-in to our moving body, often focus on breath and energy paths to find attentiveness. With a few simple repetitive exercises we will try to find a deeper understanding of gravity, alignments and skeletal connections. The class is designed to develop your stamina and strength as we will move through with full bodied engagement and articulation. Some phrases are repeated over a few weeks to explore familiar and unfamiliar coordination of movement vocabulary.
FRIDAYS
9.30am-10.30am: Kinning Park Complex.
The class starts with giving space to breathe, land or ponder then offering some images or small questions to navigate an explorative journey. Using various imageries, somatic exercises, or looking at other species or other art forms as hints or metaphors, we explore the anatomical potential and find the connections in things we live with. We will enrich our embodiment and feed into your practice. The class welcomes all movers. Aya cares about the journey of each class and within the inclusive facilitation, will move with openness and playfulness to cultivate the moving body together.
