our classes, workshops, events & hikes 16-23.3.26
Please check in with us before turning up for the classes and sessions below as we may move them according to what works best for the people who wish to come. We mostly work with small groups and try to give classes that work for all levels (feel free to say if you prefer a beginner’s class or a more advanced one or you’d like us to focus on a certain group of poses). Please let us know what works best for you; we'll try to accommodate. If you’re away from Istanbul, Tasha gives online classes by arrangement.
Tasha’s visual art workshops and Nick's workshops and voice, and performative dance and theatre classes are mostly by request, please ask if interested.
Performers (Nick): I'm open to working (as director, writer or performer) with performers (dancers, actors, singers, performance artists, musicians, poets…) on dance-theatre, music and voice projects. Depending on the project, I'm happy to work without finance but commitment is essential. If interested, please get in touch. I’m happy to work in Turkish or English as well as other languages. Performance projects can be for solo performers or for performances involving more than one performer. My work aspires to be challenging and radical for both the performers and audiences.
If you pay for 5 classes in advance, the sixth one is free.
