About Pro Class with Aya Kobayashi | 5th October to 15 December
Professional Contemporary Class by Barrowland Ballet and The Work Room Autumn 2023
Event: Pro Class Thursday | with Aya Kobayashi | PWYC £7
Thursday 31 August | 9:30 AM – 10:45 AM | at Newlands South Church
The Work Room & Barrowland Ballet co-run weekly classes for the professional dance community in Glasgow on Thursday & Friday mornings.
Class is led by Aya Kobayashi with occasional guest teachers. Started in 2018 in response to the lack of professional-level contemporary classes in the city, Pro Class provides a space for independent dance artists to come together to dance and sustain practice. Our aim is for these classes to be accessible to a wide range of physicalities.
The classes operate on a Pay-What-You-Can sliding scale of £0 > £3 > £5 > £7 tickets and should be booked in advance via TicketLab.
What to expect from Ayas’s Thursday Class:
The class includes both set materials and improvisations to train the clarity and embodiment through release based technique. We start with gentle way-in to our moving body, often focus on breath and energy paths to find attentiveness. With a few simple repetitive exercises we will try to find a deeper understanding of gravity, alignments and skeletal connections. The class is designed to develop your stamina and strength as we will move through with full bodied engagement and articulation. Some phrases are repeated over a few weeks to explore familiar and unfamiliar coordination of movement vocabulary.
The Autumn Term runs from Thursday 31 August – Friday 15 December. Find tickets for the full Autumn 2023 Term here: https://ticketlab.co.uk/events/TheWorkRoomDance
