We’ll focus on the pelvis, how it moves in different directions and helps us to shift our weight. We will focus on not holding our breath and not making big efforts but finding a pleasurable way of being and moving. Smiling can really help! We will then take this into improvised dancing on our own and with others to the music. The aim is to move where you are at, however you are feeling on the day. The session aims to develop a greater sense of balance and freedom and connection with our dancing selves. There will be time for reflection at the end.</p><p></p><h3>BREATH MEDITATION</h3><h3></h3><h3>DRAMA</h3><p>Workshop led by Andrius Gaučas.</p><p>Voice is the most commonly used tool in every day’s life, yet it still is a great mystery to us. By freeing our voice, relaxing vocal folds and using our imagination, we can achieve tremendous range and qualities we never thought we had.</p><p>Our voice is inseparable from our body and mind. Learning to achieve physical awareness and vocal expression helps us to find our emotional core and connect it with our thoughts.</p><p></p><h3>PRESENTATION</h3><p>Present or share live, via pre-recorded video or through an alternative method (drawings, voice notes, writing) your own movement exploration developed throughout the week: solo of up to 5mins. Alternative methods of expression can be used to present your response to the week’s learning. </p><p>Young Amici leaders will be available to support you through the process and presentation.</p>

<p>Young Amici Summer School would not be possible without the support of Hammersmith United Charities and John Lyon's Charity.</p>
