Out Of The Ground Intensive

Over the 4 days we will work on technical skills, learn repertoire to pick apart, create, explore and fail together. Each day will begin with class which will focus on preparing the body for the afternoon experiments. Morning class will start with breath work, yoga and conditioning before moving onto technical crossings focusing on floor work, falling and moving upside down. During the afternoons we will focus on creative tasks focusing on musicality, performance and improvisation within a safe space where we can make mistakes whilst challenging our brains and bodies.

Choreographically, she draws on a wide range of movement practices, including contemporary dance and Capoeira.

Namgauds has created work for theatres, outdoor festivals, galleries and music videos and has collaborated with Hofesh Shechter Company and LIFT. Her works tour nationally and internationally and have recently been performed at Dance Umbrella, and British Council Edinburgh Showcase 2019.
