In this three-hour workshop, movement becomes a playful game of choices. Together, we’ll explore space, music, relationships and awareness, discovering how every decision shapes what we create.
Through instant composition, you’ll practice reading the room, responding in the moment and making bold choices that serve the group. By the end, we’ll have built something unique: a living universe made entirely from our shared decisions. The session ends with a public sharing in the theatre foyer of the material we have made together.

Choreographer
Leeds (UK)
Jamaal Burkmar is an international award-winning choreographer whose first creation was as a second year student at the Northern School for Contemporary Dance (NSCD) where he created a piece entitled Ocean.
The piece gained critical acclaim, and was performed around the North until it became the first and only undergraduate commissioned for VERVE, the postgraduate company at NSCD. The success of this piece led to Jamaal being awarded the highly prestigious New Adventures Choreography Award. He has since been commissioned by and received support from the Dance Hub in Birmingham, Leeds Dance Partnership, Phoenix Dance Theatre, Mobius Dance and more. Jamaal’s work has a strong relationship to music and sits in many spaces, outdoor, theatrical and online.
