The festival is based around:

Technique classes from leading practitioners

Intensive research workshops focusing on the mind and the body

Studio showings and discussions

but will also contain:

Qi gong on the beach, dancing into the ocean, and time to hang out, to talk together, walk together, and be silent together

Our bones are laid bare, to share what we know, and discover what we don't.

“I was engulfed by new ideas that will continue to affect my own art making. And other familiar ideas were deepened, made more integrated and revitalised.”

“The mix of people was great - different backgrounds but the same passion and the friendly environment created fostered easy friendships :)”

“The sense of community we created in a very short period really helped balance the relationship/blur the lines between "teacher" and "student". “

…“You managed to create this specifically inspiring, uplifting and empowering atmosphere that good dance festivals have, you created variety with amazing physical classes, improvisation, showings, and- often missing in dance festivals: discussions. I loooved the discussions.”

…”my favorite thing about Bare Bones though were the outdoor sessions, they made the experience really special…”
