Online Adult Class 2024 – Autumn Term

Wed 11 Sep – Wed 23 Oct
Online
Join our weekly online dance class led by our Co-Artistic Director, Raquel Meseguer Zafe and our Candoco Teaching Artist, Kitty Fedorec. This class is suitable for beginners (disabled and non-disabled) as well as those with more experience.

What to expect from our adult dance class:

  • Sessions led by one of our Co-Artistic Directors (Raquel Meseguer Zafe) and Candoco Teaching Artist (Kitty Fedorec)
  • Flexible and supportive environment
  • Class is taught in spoken English and written English (with Zoom’s automated captioning and online chat box)
  • You can expect dance classes integrating contemporary dance principles, mindfulness, and improvisation. These are inclusive sessions, influenced by crip practice* and crip pleasure*

*Crip Practice: Some of Raquel’s classes will incorporate crip practice, which are practices evolved from the knowledge and lived experience of disability. In Raquel’s classes, participants can expect to work with qualities, improvisation tasks and improvisation scores. Raquel also works with ideas of ‘rest’, ‘support’ and mindful movement.  

*Crip Pleasure: Kitty‘s practice is derived from the exploration of crip pleasure. Using elements of accessible yoga and pilates, and improvisation tasks to focus on work that starts internally with the idea of what feels good.
