Masterclass

Crying Out Loud

As part of Funk Format’s Rawkus City  festival on Saturday 14 September in Portsmouth, this is a two-hour workshop in partnership with Crying Out Loud for professional/emerging movement artists looking to develop their practice.

Led by Chameleon’s Company Dancers, explore the company’s distinct movement style and creative approach in this highly physical workshop with a strong focus on self-expression and creativity. Develop your skills in floor work, partner work and improvisation while learning repertoire from their production, Umbra.

There will also be a Q&A with Company Dancers focusing on careers and pathways through dance as well as an opportunity to meet the team from Crying Out Loud who are working across the Solent supporting physical and visual theatre artists.

If you require financial support to access the Masterclass please email projects@cryingoutloud.org with your details.

Presented in partnership with Funk Format

Additional support from Portsmouth City Council, Portsmouth Creates, Guildhall Trust, SeaDog and in partnership with Look Up Portsmouth

  • Umbra

    Umbra

    A powerful and nuanced trio, delicate and explosive in equal measure.

    Umbra, meaning ‘shadow’ in Latin, is a trio, which looks at the light and darkness within us. How these make us different and the same as each other.

    The piece explores what we hide and what we reveal, and how behaviour changes depending on who we are with.

    Highly physical and theatrical, Umbra spotlights exclusion, and the search for understanding and to be understood.

    Fast paced and dynamic, yet delicate and sensitive, Umbra is an invitation to pause and understand ourselves better.
