Emma’s series of workshops promises to be an inspiring experience; this TOOLKIT will explore a range of areas developed through her work with The Fondue Set and her own solo dance explorations. The sessions will take on a variety of forms; one week you might be dancing, the next playing the organ, the next doing a slow walk for an hour or maybe you will be playing dress-ups. All with a rigorous movement foundation around improvisation, authentic and/or fake movement, developing scores of new scores and fanning out from there. Her influences for this TOOLKIT will be The Fondue Set, Miguel Gutierrez, Children’s books, Ros Crisp, sunsets, sunrises and romantic walks along the beach.
