- TITLE OF THE ACTIVITY: 45 minute warm-up

- DETAILED CONTENT DESCRIPTION  (300 words or more):

- SUMMARY OF CONTENT DESCRIPTION  My warm up would involve a strong emphasis on weight and gravity using the breath as a movement source and the floor as a partnership to aid the transference, shift and momentum of weight with an ease of connection through the limbs, whilst still maintaining a dynamic and articulate presence.  There would be particular emphasis on the play between inner listening and active response investigating the tools that help balance and sustain multiple awarenesses.
