Wednesday moving

A local, welcoming space for discovering dance and movement together, every Wednesday during termtime. Hosted and curated by Olly Otley and Galit Criden, a bespoke line up of renowned dance artists share a variety of methods to playfully release and reconnect to your body. These are joyful sessions for every body and no experience is necessary - we welcome non-dancers who want to get off the mat and move with other people.

"One of the most welcoming, nurturing, nourishing and fun places I know. I come tired after a long day and I leave energised and happy."

"Every week it's a bit different but it's mostly about being gently invited to explore freely your body in movement. I usually start off feeling a bit self conscious, then about half way through I feel like my heart might burst with happiness and gratitude that I'm here doing this. I cycle home, relaxed and singing to myself, with a smile on my face."

"Very joyous, freeing, empowering and connecting!"

Franzi, a German movement artist, performative researcher and teacher in London, takes great joy in integrating her musical background into her movement work. "I sing a sound which could become a melody, a process of sensing, or a movement".

1 / 7 / 2026 · Galit Criden with guest Juan Sanchez
 Book this session
Galit's RESET movement method blends elements of somatic practices, contemporary dance, disco, and free improvisation. It's designed to take you on a transformative journey where you tap into your own power, explore movement and experience a sense of liberation. In this special extended session, Juan Sanchez will offer a sound bath to bring us into deep relaxation.
8 / 7 / 2026 · Julia Testas
 Book this session
Julia's improvisation sessions are inspired by a combination of her own somatic research, 'dissolving', and David Zambrano's concept of 'passing through', a philosophy that suggests that movement neeeds no leader in creation. Connecting, sharing and collaborating, Julia invites you to tap into your body's intelligence and cultivate greater confidence and freedom in your movement. The session encourages playful experimentation as you engage with others in a supportive environment.
15 / 7 / 2026 · Heni Hale
 Book this session
Heni is an independent artist, working as a choreographer, performer, researcher and educator in diverse contexts with a collaborative focus. We will work with landscapes, the interior moving landscapes of our bodies, the boney contours, structural architectures, and the soft fleshy fluid channels. We will explore different ways of seeing and being seen as we move, opening up a permissive, nourishing space. Exercises may involve working in pairs through some touch exercises, although there will always be alternatives.
