    The MFA cohort started their fall term off on an invigorating note, with a three-day intensive workshop led by Italian Physical Theatre company Kataklo. Kataklo have built a solid international reputation, and created their own twist on the genre they call Athletic Dance, that the MFAs were all too eager to give a try.
