Daydream and make creative discoveries through movement and dance.
Moving and improvising with dance artists Khia Emslie-O’Brien with Daisy Sanders. This workshop will be an opportunity to explore and get lost in movement. To be able to daydream and discover. Purely a creative process, in this session, we will spend time in movement, resting, forgetting, and making maps.
Participants need to have enough space that they are comfortable moving around without any hazards. Participants are invited to have items with them that will help them make maps, like a pen and paper, they are welcome to get creative with what these items for map-making are.
Make sure to have water, and finally, to wear clothes that are comfortable for movement.
