Bookings Now Open


The biennial London Skinner Releasing Easter School
returns in 2006!

A time for dancers, performers and indeed artist of any discipline to explore creative process and technical growth with leading international dance artists: pioneer of collaborative performance practice Gaby Agis (London), Bessie-award winning, NY Choreographer Jennifer Monson (New York), British dance-artist Florence Peake (London) & former Trisha Brown Company dancer Lionel Popkin (LA).

Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) is the pioneering approach to dancing evolved from the simple principle that when we are letting go of habitual holding patterns we can move more freely and articulately. A considerable influence on leading artists across the world, SRT enhances any movement aesthetic alongside fostering individuals’ artistic sensibility and creative unfoldment.

The only opportunity outside the USA to intensively study this groundbreaking technique.


Faculty & Timetable
Daily SRT morning class will be taught by British SRT teacher Florence Peake, with Gaby Agis and Lionel Popkin. In the afternoons, Gaby Agis (London), Lionel Popkin (LA) and Jennifer Monson (New York) will each lead a week-long afternoon intensive sharing their individual approaches to taking Releasing into improvisation and performance:

Week One      Moving the Image    Gaby Agis
Week Two      Image/Set              Lionel Popkin
