Beyond Words
This workshop, part of The Junction's masterclass series, was a unique opportunity to explore Jacques Lecoq’s movement techniques. Neutral masks were used as a starting point to finding a theatrical language that goes beyond words or movement. We hope to run it again as it was a popular session. If you would like to take part, please email us to register your interest.

Maresa von Stockert to lead a new 5 week course for the over 50's at DanceEast in Suffolk

Maresa von Stockert is leading a new 5-week course for people aged over 50 years during the summer term at DanceEast, the National Dance Agency based in Ipswich. Maresa, currently Associate Artsist at DanceEast, will lead the course along with Joy Constantinides, a dancer with Tilted Productions.

The course will focus on creative expression through movement, inspired by exploration of themes within the company’s forthcoming touring production The Glorious Wrinkle.

Working together in small groups, participants will be encouraged to discover their own creative movement potential using everyday ideas, themes and objects relevant to people of all ages and from diverse backgrounds.

No special skills are required other than a sense of fun and curiosity as these ideas can easily be explored through personal engagement and life experience rather than dance technique.

Later in the term, Maresa will also lead two sessions with Dance Unlimited, DanceEast’s Adult Performance Group. The sessions will focus on the imaginative use of objects in a dance context. Known for her unique work with props, Maresa will give an insight into the company’s approach to creating a dialogue between human body and object. Through specific tasks and discussions the aim will be to encourage participants to develop their own creative potential.
