DYNAMIC FLOOR are intermediate-level floor work classes aiming to develop fluidity and movement rhythms.

We will work on the coordination and physicality of movements to understand how to organise our bodies in order to enter and exit the floor.

We will use our weight and momentum to move in an efficient-effortless way without disrupting the flow of movement.

What's the class?

“How the fuck are we going to turn this into a song?” That’s the question Lou Barlow and John Davis have asked themselves since co-founding the Folk Implosion in the early 1990s. Beginning with improvised jams featuring Barlow on bass and Davis on drums, the duo develop their beat-driven pop collages from the ground up. It’s the process they used on their debut cassette, Walk Through This World with the Folk Implosion, and one they’ve returned to 30 years later on their spellbinding, self-referencing reunion, Walk Thru Me.

Mik Artistik is a poet, performer, artist and comedian. With his compadre Jonny Flockton on guitar, and a selection of well heeled bass players, they hypnotise audiences with their special brand of joyous madness. 

Delightful, frightening, strange and hysterically funny, Mik throws shapes and straws, and croons like a dream - sometimes. Jonny holds him in check with forceful, elegant and sublime guitar work. 

This interactive workshop for families explores the fascinating interplay between sculpture and photography.

Engage in hands-on sculptural activities and photographic processes, learning how these two art forms can complement and enhance one another.

Inspired by our current exhibition Sculpture Photographed, we’ll look at how light, space, and perspective influence the perception of sculptural forms.

Create your own artworks combining different textures, shapes, and colours in this free workshop, suitable for all ages and skill levels.

This drop-in workshop engages with the themes and artistic ideas expressed in the exhibition Hany Armanious: Stone Soup.

Highlighting the artist’s practice of noticing, we’ll explore the composition of forms, materials, and conceptual dialogues.
