The training is led by Jason Beechey
An exploration of ballet with a focus on movement and musicality – centred on the qualities and concepts behind the steps.
Jason Beechey’s class explores ballet with a focus on movement and musicality, foregrounding the qualities and concepts behind the steps. It is about making choices and being aware of the phrasing and intentions underlying impulses and dynamics – and recognising how these intentions can inform, connect and expand the classical ballet vocabulary. Beyond this, each participant is given the opportunity to explore their own ideas, find their individual interpretation, and discover a whole range of dynamics and movement qualities.
