Class Lab: Skinner // Sound

Skinner // Sound offers an immersive introduction to Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT), a movement practice rooted in poetic imagery, music and guided touch. Led by Franzi, this series explores classes 1 to 4 of the SRT pedagogy, and welcomes participants of all backgrounds (no prior experience of Skinner Releasing Technique required).

SRT is a pioneering somatic approach that fosters expressive, spontaneous movement. As tension releases, dancers access deeper freedom, power, and articulation. This Lab gently expands into voice and sound practices, culminating in a moving and sounding score developed from SRT principles. Each session also includes space for drawing and writing to support individual reflection.

Whether you're a dancer, artist, mover or curious creative, Skinner // Sound invites you into a playful space of imagination, exploration, and release.

About the facilitator:

Franziska Böhm is an independent artist based in London, working across music, dance and academia. Drawn to collaboration, she explores what emerges if we soften into relations: with Hannah Archambault she explores movement-based electronic and a cappella composition; she co-directs Palpable with Sofia Pomeroy; co-founded Sounding Sensations Praxis with Serena Ruth. Recently she has been teaching SRT at Chisenhale Dance Space, Wednesday Moving, Trinity Laban and Rambert. She has a cat called RatBetty and works in a Spanish deli pairing wine and meat.
