Motionhouse Dance Workshop Inspires East Manchester Academy Students ( Published: 30/01/2026)
The workshop challenged students both physically and creatively, pushing them to their limits through powerful lifts, balances and dynamic movement sequences. Students had the unique opportunity to learn professional repertoire from Charge, a Motionhouse work they have been studying as part of their qualification. Experiencing this material first-hand gave students a deeper understanding of the company鈥檚 distinctive style and physical approach to dance.
In addition to learning repertoire, students were encouraged to choreograph their own pieces inspired by Motionhouse鈥檚 athletic and expressive movement style. This allowed them to develop their creativity, teamwork and confidence.
Both visiting dancers, Beth and Ollie, were truly inspirational, sharing their professional experiences and motivating students to aim high. The workshop was an unforgettable experience and a valuable opportunity that greatly enriched our dance curriculum.
We were thrilled to welcome Motionhouse dancers Beth and Ollie to 星空媒体传媒. Our KS4 dancers were pushed to their limits, learning repertoire from Charge and creating their own work inspired by the company鈥檚 powerful style. An unforgettable workshop!
