Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) is the pioneering approach to
dancing that has evolved from the simple principle that when we
are releasing tension and habitual holding patterns we can move
more freely, powerfully and articulately. A considerable influence
on leading choreographers and improvisational dance-makers across
the world, SRT can enhance any movement style whilst fostering
artistic sensibility and creative unfoldment.

In Releasing, spontaneous movement evoked by guided poetic imagery
and music and sound enables a creative exploration of technical
principles such as multi-direction alignment, suppleness, suspension,
economy and autonomy. In the practice of Releasing, engaging the
imagination and involving the whole self integrates technical growth
and creative process. Uniquely, experienced dancers study alongside
beginners, each working at their own rate. Skinner Releasing is a
dance class for professionals, newcomers and beginners alike: all
those interested in exploring their creativity through moving.
