Riding the curve
Over the course of the week, these classes concentrate on using our body as one versatile piece, in a very physical relationship with the floor. Creating structures with our limbs and curves with the body to enable creative-acrobatics, flowing in and out of the floor. We will seek to take advantage of gravity to 'ride the curve' down into the floor and use this energy to come back out, using less effort, less muscle, leaving more energy and power.
Bio
Luke Jessop fell into dance at the age of fifteen, taking an academic route from school, college and then to the University of Bedfordshire on the BA (Hons) Dance and Professional Practice course. During his final year of study in 2011, he began working with 2Faced Dance Company for the creation of In The Dust. He toured with this triple-bill around UK, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Bulgaria. Since January 2012 Luke has been working in Brussels with Última Vez / Wim Vandekeybus, creating and performing in b***y Looting, Spiritual Unity and Talk to the Demon as well as performing in Oedipus/bêt noir, nieuwzwart and FEAR NOT. He is currently on tour with the latest revival of In Spite of Wishing and Wanting. Luke is heavily involved in floor-based techniques such as B-boying and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and continually wishes to push his creativity in an effort to create and develop new movement language. He regularly teaches workshops and classes and has recently founded his own company, Ion Tribe, looking to merge dance and science.
