Group Workshops
bodymind creativity & wellbeing Group workshops bring together like-minded souls who share a similar desire to explore the processes of creativity and wellbeing from a somatic perspective. Personal journeys and discoveries are honoured and profoundly deepened through the art of witnessing and compassionate response. This improvisatory approach to authentic expression and embodied movement is heightened through sensory awareness, image making and word. As our bodies become more sensitised so too do abilities to shift with increasing confidence and ease between solo, duet and group work. Workshops emphasize two distinct strands of either creative and personal development or applied and professional development. |

Creative workshops The creative process is one of revelation that explores the art of perception and ways that we have learnt to see and respond to each other and our environment. Guided exercises and movement scores suggest starting places for individual movement exploration. As body and mind relax, energy and movement begins to flow. Personal memories and images also often emerge that from different perspectives provoke new meaning as unspoken stories are transfromed through creative process. |

These workshops emphasize awareness and empowerment using free and improvised movement within a group context. They are suitable for anyone wanting to explore authentic expression through an interdisciplinary approach. No previous experience is required. Instead we begin exactly where we are in the moment with an open heart and readiness to explore creativity in ways that are most meaningful for ourselves and others. |

CPD & Applied Somatics An understanding of somatic movement as applied to professional practice is encouraged through experiential enquiry and developed through personal and group process. |

The Star Method evolved as an approach for teaching creative dance to infants during a two week choreographic project with dance artists from North East Wales Dance. Developed from creative and contemporary dance with concepts of infant movement development, it culminated in a performance with workshops toured to nursery and primary schools. Since then it has been successfully offered as Continuing Professional Development to dance artists and practitioners, students in Higher Education on PGCE teacher training dance modules and within BA Applied Drama, and as inset training to nursery and primary school teachers. It is a highly accessible method that offers a template for teaching and developing creative movement in early years settings. As a primary outcome of developmental movement is to enervate the nervous system the Star Method also has huge implications for improved mental and physical health. View performance HERE. |

Coming to our Senses/Moving Sense
The Somatics of Change |
|
|||||
|
These workshops explore the somatic experience of change through somatic practice and creative process. Change is arguably one of the most demanding aspects of life. Whether it confronts us suddenly or if things have been brewing a long time, change can often be a time of crisis, fear and anxiety. It may also often lead to great personal potential and spiritual rebirth. Participants will be supported to follow their own process within the context of the group.
Suitable for anyone with or without experience with an interest in a holistic approach to healing and imagination offering practical skills that may be applied in the arts, complementary health practice and therapies. Workshops may be taken as a series in which participants will find continuity and development of the theme. However weekends will also adequately stand alone for independent study if so desired.
