As the high energy of the summer begins to subside, take some time to tune back into your intelligent body this September with a Moving Compositions workshop special!
This guided group workshop is designed for those curious about self-expression through movement, dance, and voice. Together, we'll explore a variety of exercises aimed at expanding our capacity for movement and accessing a state of flow that allows your unique voice to emerge. By integrating somatic art and creative writing activities, we'll uncover new ways to translate our embodied experiences into creative expression. Ultimately, you'll craft a unique keepsake collage to add to your personal archive, serving as a lasting reminder of your journey in this transformative exploration.
What to expect:
-
Guided movement improvisation with a vibrant playlist to connect you to your moving body and replenish your vital energy levels!
-
Moving with organic materials to practise embodied listening and responding!
-
Vocal work to free your voice and let yourself be heard!
-
Mark-making, somatic drawing and creative writing to archive your experience and create an original keepsake collage!

Are you craving a space to connect to your body, your voice, your senses?
Are you interested in dance, but do not fancy learning choreography or following one particular form?
Are you curious to practise developing presence, and discover ways to connect to others and the world around you through movement and voice?
Or perhaps you are a performer/actor/dancer/director, wishing to develop your skills in improvisation and performance?
If you answered YES to any of these questions... Then this workshop is for you.
What to expect...
A playful and energetic guided movement workshop where we practice a range of tools for creating movement and sound spontaneously. We practice connecting to ourselves, to the music, the others in the space and the room we are in. We expand our curiosity for movement by utilising our imagination, playing with associations, and practise finding and shaping narrative as we move.
It is an inclusive practice without any preconceived expectations on experience or ability. Instead, we work with whatever the individual brings to the room, and offer a container to express one's unique self.
