Delicately Placed What will the students experience? Your dancers will bend to the shape of the architecture, squeeze into corners, balance, hang and rest upside down to complement the landscape and outdoor space they are exploring. They will be performing to the public in a less informal way and can also spend time photographing or filming the installations What will they learn? They are a great way of getting learners to see their local spaces from a different perspective. If you fancy a new dance challenge, and want to break into contact work and physicality the Delicately Placed master class is perfect for any time of year. It doesn't feel like dance and can help to change learners expectations about dance and visual art. How can we book? - Delicately Placed will be offered up as a subsidised master class to schools and community groups In Plymouth during October 2018 to perform in the installations on 6th & 13th of October.

A great collapsed timetable day for a year group, or fun after school club that interweaves dance, PE, photography and film.
