Morning Class with Sara Sguotti

Join resident dance artist Sara Sguotti for a morning class at Galway Dance Project’s Terryland Studio, from 10-11am on Monday and Tuesday 22-23rd May

In her works Sara always explore the potential of the collectivity.

She combines different types and techniques of movement, from floorwork to house dance, including some sections of somatic practices as well as performative and vocal tasks.

The focus of this kind of class is to bring consciousness and knowledge of everyone’s own body and to work on the possibility that can be explored thanks to the power that the dancing group has. The dancers are pushed to train and explore applying each one their own knowledge and experience and in this way the group can contribute to the realization a commune upgrade. It is therefore a class where individual attention is placed within a broader collective awareness guided by symbiotic transmission
