Episode Synopsis

S1 Ep11 Dance workshop (Coordination)In this session we investigate coordination as the practical work of organising different moving elements so they relate rather than collide. We begin simply: choose one or two parts of yourself and explore timing and sequencing — can you make a rhythm or pattern that feels connected rather than disjointed? From there we broaden into multiple-element awareness, noticing and managing several impulses or qualities at once (speed, intensity, flow) and trying the work with and without music. Next we examine independence and interaction — how one movement depends on, supports, or interferes with another, and how these relations change when you bring in space, gravity, breath or imagined constraints. We then extend coordination outwards: match and contrast your movement with the environment, furniture, objects, other people, or music, testing opposition and counterpoint as part of being “coordinated.” Finally, we explore fluidity and adaptability — how patterns arise, how established habits shift, and how transitions are coordinated between different activities. The session closes with a short reflection: what does coordination mean to you after practising it — timing and sequencing, balancing multiple qualities, or something else?Dance workshopExplore, imagine, move.A companion series to PETER, dance with.
