This workshop focuses on the development of the dancers performance practice, and consequently their approach to making solo work. The content and structure of the workshop is based on Warby's long history with the work of Deborah Hay.

Warby encourages the participants to eliminate attachment to prescribed techniques or choreographic approaches and invite the body to undo any pre-conceived notions of what dance is, thereby creating a chance for the dancer to express a complex and indefinable range of experience through the humour, intelligence and emotional engagement of the dancing body. Warby will create a solo adaptation from one of her choreographies, using this form to introduce the dancers to these ideas and practices.

This practice challenges the students to wake up and notice what it is they are doing in their dance. This shift in attention aims to stimulate the intelligence of the whole body and mind and, in turn, elevate their level of engagement in both performance and dance making.
