Whether you're drawn to the fluid, sensual drama of floorplay or the daring physicality of acro chair, this term gives you the space and structure to explore both.
Each week builds on the last, so you'll finish the term with a toolkit of techniques you can weave straight into your performance practice.
Open to students with some movement experience - no acro background required, just a willingness to get on the floor and play.
We will be intertwining the weeks from Floor one week & chair the next, so, if you’re into learning one and not the other, you can opt to casually enrol and come every second week instead! 1st week will be floor so you can plan ahead.

Join Manda for a tech term of all the best parts of both styles of movement put together!
We'll go through the foundations of each genre and how to merge them into what Manda is calling HoopHop!
