A one-day dance workshop led by
Annie Hanauer
On Tuesday 3rd October 2023,
10am – 4.30pm at The Gateway Centre, Shrewsbury, SY1 1NB
Cost £30
Join Contact Dance Company for a one-day workshop led by Annie Hanauer, an internationally renowned disabled dancer, choreographer, and teacher. The workshop is open to people who are D/deaf, disabled, neurodivergent and non-disabled and have previous dance experience. We would particularly like to reach out to dancers based in Shropshire or the West Midlands who don’t regularly dance with SiD.
Annie’s workshop will explore themes and movement ideas from her new dance solo, Updraft, which looks at the body in relation to landscape and ideas of flying, falling, and letting go. We will explore these themes and ideas on our own and in groups through improvised movement, partner work, touch, drawing and writing.

Annie’s work’s A space for all our tomorrows, which looks at utopia through a disability lens, and Updraft, a solo dance with live music exploring the body in relation to landscape, are currently touring Europe.
