Bare Bones
The essentials of physical embodiment
An Open Floor workshop
with Audrey Boss & Jane Belshaw
Produced by Lisa Griffiths
Assisted by Killian Strong
In this 3 day workshop we will continue to work with the lived experience of the body itself.
Why Bare Bones?
In a world that calls us to be anywhere but in our own bodies, Bare Bones is an invitation to explore the physicality of your dance and discover the endless landscapes of the moving human body.
This 3 day workshop is an invitation to visit, or revisit, the building blocks of Open Floor movement practice. An opportunity for you to re-member yourself - from the inside out. As we build awareness through the moving body, we can move more freely and expressively and expand our movement vocabularies beyond what we think we already know.
All knowledge
until it's in the body
is still a rumour.

Ground yourself in Open Floor beyond the theory. We will foreground the basic structures of our practice, inhabiting and moving with our embodied resources as ever present and accessible.
Allow your practice to unfold and reveal itself to you as a known, lived experience rather than a concept we strive to understand. Join us to place our extraordinary bodies centre stage and fully inhabit life.
In our first Bare Bones workshop, we spent three days practising with the body centre stage, developing awareness through movement to support greater freedom, clarity, and range. The emphasis was on grounding OpenFloor practice in direct, embodied experience rather than theory.
We worked in depth with six core movement resources.
In this second three-day workshop, the body again remains centre stage as we practise with the foundational structures of the work through the remaining six movement resources.
This training offers a focused, embodied framework that supports personal practice, teaching, and the integration of movement awareness into everyday life.
