The 2FD Workshop
These workshops will introduce participants to the basics of our building block techniques, using physicality to open up students ideas of what dance can be. The focus is on fun, team building and learning new skills. These workshops seek to inspire students to take part in dance and consider dance as a subject they would like to explore further.

Contact, partner work and lifting
This workshop is designed to bring 2Faced's iconic contact and partner work to your students. With a focus on the physical, students will explore how using weight sharing, balance and teamwork can generate interesting exciting and dynamic lifting work. Participants will use the skills learnt in creative exercises, choreographing their own movement to share at the end of the workshop.
