Today, students in their final year at London Contemporary Dance School delivered workshops to three year 6 classes at Ben Johnson Primary School, as part of their LC3 tour. The workshops were based on a Richard Alston piece called Strong Language, where the students were encouraged to create travelling pathways through the space using interesting movement ideas, whilst incorporating set movement material they had been taught earlier in the session. The children worked maturely in small groups, with an LC3 dancer to facilitate ideas, resulting in a lively sharing of the students work. LC3 then performed a short programme of dance, including an extract from Richard Alston’s, Strong Language, an improvised piece and a short duet devised by two of the LC3 students. Overall it was a wonderful day of sharing ideas and enjoying moving in the space.
