The Hofesh Shechter Company Workshop will offer dance students and professional dancers an in depth exploration into the principles that underpin Hofesh’s movement style and quality. Each day will include a warm up class modelled on Hofesh’s company class, introducing key elements to understanding and experiencing the movement language and qualities of the work. Following the warm up class each day a subject-led workshop session will be facilitated using sequences and movement material from Hofesh’s repertory as well as new material and creative tasks. 

PLEASE NOTE THIS WORKSHOP IS NOW FULL. ANY APPLICATIONS RECEIVED FROM NOW ON WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ADDED TO THE WAITING LIST. WE HOPE TO RUN ANOTHER INTENSIVE IN THE NEW YEAR (2011) AND ALL APPLICANTS WILL BE INFORMED ABOUT THIS AS SOON AS WE HAVE DETAILS.

Workshops for school/youth groups

Members of the Company lead workshops for young people based on Hofesh Shechter’s distinctive and urban choreography.  Drawing on Shechter’s own specific technique, workshop leaders will help participants find their way into this young company’s edgy style. 
A focus on floor-work and dynamic fluid movement will quickly allow the young people to feel that they are progressing towards Shechter’s iconic choreography as seen recently in Maxxie’s Dance which he choreographed for E4’s Hit TV drama Skins.  

Workshops consist of a warm-up class to introduce them to the movement style and to prepare their bodies for the work, followed by repertory based sessions where they will learn sections of the work featured in the current tour.
