Probe’s education work centres on developing skills in two distinct areas: choreography and solo performance.
Choreography workshops facilitate the acquisition of choreographic skills and techniques, aiming to create a supportive environment in which participants experiment with new ways of making work and pursue their own choreographic ideas. Antonia’s approach takes inspiration from her considerable experience devising and interpreting movement by different choreographers from the pure and complex craftsmanship of Wayne McGregor, Richard Alston, Fin Walker and Rafael Bonachela to the dark or comedic talents of Javier de Frutos, Lea Anderson, New Art Club and Mark Bruce.
Probe’s solo performance workshops draw on Antonia’s experience creating and performing solo work (by Jeremy James, Charles Linehan and Wendy Houstoun). Antonia works with developing performance skills in pacing, timing, dynamic, communication with the audience and interpretation of meaning. Workshops can focus on learning Probe repertoire or on mentoring/coaching existing pieces.
