Willa Faulkner is a freelance dancer based on Dartmoor. She trained at Trinity Laban graduating in 2019, when she then had a further year training at Performact, Portugal. She is a member of Mass Hysteria Collective, Not Yet  and NooN collective. She collaborates with many dance theatre artists across England and Europe, performing and choreographing. Her dance classes are inspired by mindfulness, contemporary dance, clowning and theater techniques.

Willa’s pro classes will be a mix of guided improvisation- both solo and group- and small bits of set material/traveling repetitions. Willa guides dance with an emphasis of imagery, playfulness and sensitivity. There will be moments that are quite still and subtle and moments energetic and fast paced, hopefully it will be an opportunity for you to tune into your body, have fun!

Alexa Mason studied choreography at Falmouth and Laban and continues to explore movement and its relation to music in collaboration with musicians - building back her own strength since having children. This class begins with shaking to warm up the mind and body followed by a yoga flow to work on strength and mobility. After this, some travelling floor work flows and sequences before heading into phrases and material  🦎
