Workshops

Led by dance artist and Russell Maliphant Dance Company member Grace Jabbari, this workshop is based on the heart of world-renowned choreographer Russell Maliphant’s creative process, merging techniques from classical and contemporary dance with principles from Bodywork and Martial arts. The workshop will draw from various avenues of creative exploration, allowing freedom of movement within a deeply rooted musical exploration.
