Open professional classes
Throughout the production period of This is not a body, daily morning technique class will be open to professional dancers. These classes will be taught by either choreographer Filip Van Huffel or movement analyst Natalie Gordon.
Filip teaches an idiosyncratic technique class that looks at the process of movement, exploring the flow of energy through the body, emphasising efficiency and freedom. Fast paced and quirky, his class uses continuous flow, weight and breath to energise movement through the space and body.
Natalie teaches a technique class based on Bartenieff Fundamentals, a class that focuses on internal body connectivity to enable efficiency in movement and to find pathways of flow through the body to aid functionality for a dancer. Natalie utilises these theories to create a technique class that is full bodied, fluid and released.

Rehearsals start for new production
Rehearsals for This is not a body, Retina’s new production, are starting on Monday 8th January! For the next three months the company will be in the studio creating this new work, ready for the premiere in Antwerp on 27th March 2007. The work will be made in both Nottingham UK and in Antwerp Belgium, giving the dancers a time to explore and enjoy both cities. For a few weeks they will be joined by visual artist Brian Hartley, and composers Dave Boyd and Axelle Kennes, giving Filip the chance to work in the studio with the collaborators.
