S1 Ep8 Dance workshop (Size and Scale)

S1 Ep8 Dance workshop (Size and Scale)In this session, we explore the scale of movement, from the tiniest gestures inside the body to the expansive reach of the whole universe. Starting with the human body as a reference point, you’ll notice the range and limits of your gestures, the arcs and sweeps you naturally make, and the spaces you inhabit as a mover.You’ll then be guided through exercises inspired by Glenda Batson and Susan Sentler, exploring the concept of the fold. First, you’ll investigate folds in your environment—fabric, paper, furniture—then shift your attention inward to the folds and creases within your own body. Finally, you’ll play with folding and unfolding yourself, imagining how your movements can expand into the surrounding world or contract into the universe.The session concludes by inviting you to map your dance across multiple scales: from the particle level to planetary phenomena, from micro-movements to cosmic gestures. By the end, you’ll have developed a heightened awareness of scale, attention, and imagination in your dancing, and new ways to perceive and shape movement in relation to space, self, and the wider world.Dance workshopExplore, imagine, move.A companion series to PETER, dance with.
