SUMMARY:Professional Contemporary Class - Autumn Term 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Work Room and Barrowland Ballet co-run weekly\\, morning 
 contemporary class for the professional dance community in Glasgow on Thu
 rsdays and Fridays. The classes began in 2018 in response to the lack of 
 professional-level contemporary dance classes in the city\\, providing a 
 space for independent dance artists to come together to train and sustain
  practice.ABOUTClass is led by Aya Kobayashi and guest artists. Aya takes
  a different teaching approach to the classes on Thursdays and Fridays\\,
  with guest teachers taking a similar approach. Guest teachers in this te
 rm include: Kirstie Simson &amp\\; Charlie Brittain\\, Jack Anderson\\, a
 nd Saffy Setohy. More details for each guest and more guest artists to fo

 ass is designed to develop your stamina and strength as we will move thro
 ugh with full bodied engagement and articulation. Some phrases are repeat
 ed over a few weeks to explore familiar and unfamiliar coordination of mo
 vement vocabulary.Fridays\\, 9.30am-10.45am The class starts with giving 
 space to breathe\\, land or ponder then offering some images or small que
 stions to navigate an explorative journey.  Using various imageries\\, so
 matic exercises\\, or looking at other species or other art forms as hint
 s or metaphors\\, we explore the anatomical potential and find the connec
 tions in things we live with. We will enrich our embodiment and feed in\\
