Improvisation:
We have developed a way of improvising in dance which is very accessible.  It really can be for everyone...there is some contact involved but mainly it is about responding to impulse and variation in  using space and how the  the performer works in relation to the space and each other in an improvisation . We also pay a lot of attention to the use of the spine and the expression of the whole body . If there is space for wheelchair users we can include everyone .
