A two day masterclass in Contact Improvisation led by Itay Yatuv, Artistic Director of the Hakvutza Dance School and one of Israel’s leading dance teachers and practitioners.

Beginning with individual work, incorporating floor work and using momentum, the class will then move on to work with a partner, looking at the learning process that happens with duet. Through games and different tricks, the aim is to disrupt habits and discover new ways of challenging your boundaries as a dancer. Although it will be hard work, it will also be a lot of fun.

To book a place please call the Arches Box Office on 0141 565 1000 or email lucy@thearches.co.uk
