Bare Bones
The essentials of physical embodiment

​An Open Floor workshop 

with Audrey Boss & Jane Belshaw


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.

        - Anonymous

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.
