Wednesday moving

August 2025 · Summer holidays!

Wednesday Moving is on a summer break until the start of our new term this September. Keep dancing, and join us for Galit's amazing RESET session to kick start the Autumn.

10 / 9 / 2025 · Galit Criden

Galit's RESET movement method blends elements of somatic practices, contemporary dance, disco, and free improvisation. It's designed to take you on a transformative journey where you tap into your own power, explore movement and experience a sense of liberation.

17 / 9 / 2025 · Darcy Wallace

Darcy is a British-Australian director, choreographer and contemporary dance artist currently exploring the transitional experience of (m)otherhood. She is centering a methodology of care, looking at elements of metamorphosis, pregnancy, guilt, sexuality, and the duality of an individual movement experience and the collective energy of a group. Her workshops are designed to build strength and stamina but, more importantly, provide participants with the space to explore individuality, expand in confidence, access new ways of approaching movement, and find collective joy. This class will start with a somatic warm up, drawing from yoga and Feldenkrais practices. From there, Darcy will lead an improvisation that engages the whole body and its senses, into movement. There will be some choreography that applies the tools and information that we've shared during the improvisation.

24 / 9 and 1 / 10 / 2025 · Olly Otley

As a community dance artist and forest school leader, Olly brings a natural playfulness and a love of nature to her work. Olly moves because it makes her feel good and her mission is to share that feeling with others. She teaches a mix of image-based guided improvisation and simple skill-building sequences. This season we'll look at qualities of touch and the manipulation of our bodies in space.

8 / 10 / 2025 · Manuela Albrecht

Manuela is a Brazilian movement artist, facilitator, performer, researcher, and mother. Drawing from physical theatre, contemporary dance, somatic practices and her lived experience of samba and the Brazilian carnival, she channels movement into nurturing creativity, curiosity, inventiveness and self-expression. Informed by the playfulness and celebration of her previous Wednesday Moving sessions, we'll explore storytelling through the body through both individual and group improvisation.

15 / 10 / 2025 · Rosie Noctor

Rosie is a dancer, a creative and a mother of two. She welcomes you into her class with grounding practices, mindful awareness and focused breathing. The class integrates somatic practices, formal contemporary dance techniques and inspiration from the Ilan Lev Method. "During my class I hope to create a metaphorical cocoon in which you can have a direct experience of your body and mind in its current state, however you come".

22 / 10 / 2025 · Franziska Boehm

Franzi, a German movement artist, Skinner Release Technique teacher and performative researcher in London, takes great joy in integrating her musical background into her movement work. "I sing a sound which could become a melody, a process of sensing, or a movement...it's the flexibility offered through mult-formed-expression that excites me". For this visit, Franzi will be teaching Skinner Releasing Technique class 4. SRT is an approach to dance, movement and creative process that has evolved from the simple principle that when we are releasing physical tension, we can move with greater freedom, power and articulation. It is is a playful and generous approach to dancing, developed in the 80s in the US by Joan Skinner. Each of the 15 introductory classes consists of poetic imagery, supported by music and some guided touch. Each class ends with a few moments of writing or drawing.
