Cost: FREE

Location: Essex Church (Notting Hill Gate)
112 Palace Gardens Terrace, London W8 4RT

SRT uses image-guided floor work and hands-on tactile studies to facilitate a deeper kinaesthetic experience of movement. Spontaneous movement evoked by imagery enables the student to explore technical principles such as multi directional alignment, suppleness, suspension, economy and autonomy.

Gaby Agis is one of the pioneers of collaborative performance in Britain, working with leading artists of her generation from other disciplines in galleries, museums and theatres. She founded Gaby Agis & Company in 1985 and the artists she has worked with are Turner Prize nominee Isaac Julien, sculptors Kate Blacker and Cornelia Parker, composers David Sylvian and Gavin Bryars, architects Muf, and the director Atom Eyogan.

In 2000 she was commissioned to choreograph a piece for the Royal Opening of the Millennium Bridge, and her recent works include Explict Faith performed at LSO St. Luke's in 2003, and Touch Un-Sited, which was performed as part of the celebrations for Architecture Week 2005.

Her wider involvements include Falling Wide, the Ripe Nights seasons at the Union Chapel, artist discussions for the South Bank Centre, and numerous curatorial roles at Chisenhale Dance Space.

Since 1993 Gaby has taught the Skinner Releasing Technique throughout Europe, and annually at the Skinner Releasing summer program in Seattle.
