Anatomy Through Movement

Thursday 12, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 July

Anatomy Through Movement 

A movement workshop inspired by Leonardo's extraordinary anatomical studies and led by award-winning theatre company the Clod Ensemble. In this gentle, meditative movement class, you will identify the key anatomical landmarks of your own body - making connections between Leonardo's two-dimensional anatomical maps and your own flesh and bones.

No experience necessary, people of all movement abilities welcome. Please wear comfortable clothing.

Led by Suzy Willson and Leon Baugh of the Clod Ensemble.
Developed with the help of Professor Susan Standring, Editor of 'Gray's Anatomy'.

This event is FREE.

This event takes place on the following dates:

Clod Ensemble create performance projects, workshops and events across the UK and internationally. Recent productions include 'Under Glass' (2009), which took place in a series of glass containers and jars, 'Must', a collaboration with legendary New York performer Peggy Shaw, and 'An Anatomie in Four Quarters' (Sadlers Wells, 2011). They also create projects and curate work in places where art does not usually happen. The groundbreaking ‘Performing Medicine’ project uses the arts to help medical students and doctors gain skills relevant to their clinical practice, as well as curating workshops and events for the general public.

Suzy Willson is Artistic Director of Clod Ensemble. She has directed all of their productions to date and leads the company's 'Performing Medicine' project. She is also an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Leon Baugh is an Associate Artist on the 'Performing Medicine' project. He has been an international touring dancer for ten years, working with companies such as Jasmin Vardimon and Hofesh Shechter. More recently he has moved into choreography for theatre, winning an Olivier Award for his work on 'Suckerpunch' at the Royal Court Theatre.

Part of our Leonardo series of events in collaboration with The Royal Collection.
