Using meditation and some informal freeform dance exercises and music to connect with the body, and the senses, you will be encouraged to move the body and make marks without being restricted by expectations and outcomes.
Working as large as your space allows, choosing your preferred flowing materials (eg charcoal, pastels, inks) you will learn to overcome the paralysis of ‘overthinking’ by practicing spontaneous movement, and letting this flow into your marks. to experience the freedom of boundless creative movement. You will end the day with a feeling of liberation, as well as ideas for making major shifts in your current practice.
Think of this as an experience, rather than a technique or process to learn. Treat yourself to this one-off, 3 hour, moment of joy and movement. You do not have to be a dancer! This workshop is suitable for all, for anyone with an open heart and mind, physically able and willing to let go and get messy. Beginners welcome. An ideal gift to do with a friend or loved one.
“But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.”
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.”
