This workshop is a movement experience that intends to help you feel more connected; connected to yourself, to your body, to others and to the space around us. Through a series of exercises, games and explorations, we will create improvisational and structured movement to help us better understand the intelligence of the human body in motion.

All levels of movers are welcome. Wear loose comfortable clothing and a water bottle. We will be working in bare feet.

Julia Aplin:

Julia’s dance career had taken her across artistic boundaries into theatre, music, design and visual art. Julia has worked with companies such as Tiger Princess Dance Productions, SoulPepper and CanStage. With Dusk Dances, she won the 2014 Audience Choice Award for Inner City Sirens Part 2. With Toca Loca, she created the “Halo Ballet” choreographed for video game players in cyberspace. With Urban Vessel, she directed and choreographed for actors, singers and boxers to create “Voice Box”. She was a resident artist with Series 8:08 2013/2014 Creator’s Space Program where she created “Zolla” with accordionist Tiina Kiik. Julia has taught movement in schools, colleges, academies, universities and private practice.
Julia has rehearsal directed for Marie-Josee Chartier, Serge Bennathan, Mocean Dance and Sylvie Bouchard and was a performer with Dancemakers, under the Artistic Direction of Serge Bennathan, for 15 seasons; an experience that inspired and shaped her ever widening view of what dance can be. She has also been influenced by her work with international choreographers Damien Muñoz (Spain) and Kim Itoh (Japan). In early 2017, she created studio experiments with musician Greg Oh and dancer Brodie Stevenson; a search to erase the line between music and dance. For the last two years, she has performed “The Last Curlew” with Tom Allen and chamber musicians. She is currently co-creating “Synaptic Rodeo”, with Anna Chatterton (writer), John Gzowski (composer) and Jim Ruxton (media design).
