Workshops
Power & Pulp
Laura’s workshop, Power & Pulp is aimed towards professional dancers. She shares her unique practice she has developed, drawing upon a range of vocabulary from both contemporary and commercial styles. With an emphasis on musicality, this class predominantly focuses on finding the contrast between explosive and nuanced movement, challenging and expanding our bodies and artistic choices within our own practice.
