The SRT Introductory Level is a set of 15 carefully crafted classes in which the basic releasing principles are progressively introduced and in which the different materials overlap, refer back and evolve; a process that is web-like rather than linear.

Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) is a pioneering approach to dance, movement and creative process that has evolved from the simple principle that when we are releasing physical tension, we can move with greater freedom, power and articulation.

This is a rare opportunity to delve deeply into personal and technical movement freedoms, working with freeform movement explorations, imagery and somatic awareness. After dancing with Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham, Joan Skinner developed this work around structures of natural alignment and natural grace to support ways of moving with more ease, fluency, clarity, economy and efficiency. Promoting personal depth, truth and expression through movement and unfurling layers of ourselves, this technique supports dancers in moving with their whole mind and body while developing technical facilities of multidirectional alignment, core strength, balance, power and articulation.
