Luke trained in the UK at the University of Bedfordshire, and then went on to work with UK based companies 2Faced Dance, for the triple bill 'In The Dust' and then Southpaw Dance Company for the piece 'Carousel'.

Luke teaches prolifically at festivals and schools throughout Europe with his own style of creative acrobatic dance - Riding The Curve, as well as being commissioned to create works for various schools and institutions
This workshop concentrates very pragmatically on using our body as one in a very physical relationship with the floor. Concentrating on opening up options for ourselves to enter the floor in a variety of ways, exploring the use of the back, arms and shoulders as platforms to both receive the ground and launch off for some air-time. Creating structures and curves with the body to enable creative-acrobatics, flowing in and out of the floor. We will seek to take advantage of gravity to 'ride the curve' down into the floor and use this energy to come back out, using less effort, less muscle, leaving more energy and power. Overall we seek to take away the restrictions of moving in a low level or flying high.
Daily: 9:00-12:00
