Holly Thomas Dance

Teaching

 

I specialise in teaching inclusive dance, delivering teaching and training in a range of settings.

Based upon my own research and practice I currently deliver:

Listening Body Workshops:

These workshops include explorations of:

  • Audio description as an artistic choreographic tool

  • Finding unison through listening

  • Sensing connection in ensemble movement

  • Witnessing dance as a listening practice

 Contact improvisation (CI): CI is an improvised dance form that involves the exploration of one’s body in relationship to others by using the fundamentals of sharing weight, touch, and movement awareness.

 Inclusive dance practice: beginning from a place of curiosity, observation and listening through the body, to create a space where disabled and non-disabled people can find a shared movement vocabulary and dance together.

Teacher Training with StopGap Dance Company: Seedbed program ‘Working with Visually Impaired Young People’.

Dance, Disability and Inclusive Practice, City of Bristol College; visiting lecturer (ongoing).
