Public Moves: Imagery to Movement – The Body as an Artist
with Hannah Timbrell

Fri 01.08., 17.00h l MQ Forecourt l Free entry

We will begin the class with a cardio warm-up to get the blood flowing, followed by several movement sequences, bringing awareness to our alignment and posture developing our coordination. Using imagery as a tool, we will playfully improvise to continue exploring connections in the body, as well as different dynamics and movement qualities.

Public Moves dance classes take place outdoors every day – international and local instructors share their knowledge of everything from jazz and Bollywood dance to waacking in free outdoor classes. No previous experience is necessary, and all ages and levels are welcome!

Registration begins one day before the course starts at 11:00 a.m. via the calendar or by telephone on +43.1.523 55 58-19. If a class is ‘fully booked’, there is still the possibility of securing a remaining place on site. It's worth dropping by!
