Advanced Contemporary with Charlotte Arnold
Friday 10th May 2019
7:30pm – 9pm
Charlotte is currently freelancing in Leeds, and trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance where she graduated with both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Contemporary Dance. Charlotte has previously worked with choreographers such as Hofesh Shechter, James Finnemore, James Cousins and Joss Arnott and in 2016 joined Black Box Dance Company, performing and touring internationally works by Marie Brolin-Tani, Tim Rushton and Tina Tapgaard, amongst others.
Charlotte’s class is an attempt to integrate her own research into the seven fundamentals of movement (squat, lunge, push, pull, twist, hinge and locomotion) with everyday training. Using the premise of stripping movement right back, we can hope to find something more efficient and easy when moving. Moving from the floor to standing, and working through individual explorations and sequences formed from the movement fundamentals we will find a place where our complex and multi-oriented bodies can dance with ease!
