In this workshop we’ll explore how to generate movement, inspired by some of the most iconic tales written by the master of Gothic horror, Edgar Allan Poe. Stories will include The Man of the Crowd, The Strange Case of M. Waldemar and The Descent into the Maelstrom – stories and themes that are perennially relevant.

Perfect for both experienced movers and novices - all you need is curiosity!

Please wear loose comfortable clothing, socks, bare feet or dance shoes.
