Rest and Reconnect: Open Class

An open class for experienced dancers and the dance curious (16yrs+ no upper age limit)

When was the last time someone invited you to have a really good rest?   You are warmly invited to join Cornwall-based dance artist Kyra Norman for a morning of guided movement that centres rest, and reconnection - with your body, your awareness of the space around you, and your experience of relaxed, easeful, expansive moving.  

We will deepen our relationship to ground and to gravity, exploring our physical experience of rest, relaxation and ease as a powerful experience, and a graceful refusal to 'get busy' and be productive.  This open session forms part of Kyra's research into a choreography of rest, during her Visiting Artist residency at Pavilion Dance this July 2026.

This session will be adapted to those in the room. All abilities welcome.

Please wear layers of clothing that you find comfortable to move and rest in.
