Creative movement classes for adults and children

New classes for Autumn 2024 begin on Thursday 26th September.

Adults
Wednesday mornings, 10am-11am

A mid-week reset: connect with your senses, strength, creativity, and community. A guided physical warm-up weaves together principles from contemporary dance, neurology and anatomy. We'll then move on to guided improvisation, dance composition, and partner/group work with the option for thoughtful, consensual contact.

There will always be many options for adaptation so you can tailor movements to your mood and your individual physicality.

These sessions are enjoyable for beginners as well as more experienced movers, and are appropriate for a range of mobility challenges. Please do get in touch if you have any questions before attending. No special clothes or gear required - just come dressed to move!

Price per person: £12, or £10/session for 4+ sessions
Bring a friend/partner: £15/session for 2 people

Introductory/"Taster" Session: 26th September, 4.30-5.30pm

Arrive on site from 4pm to play in the courtyard garden or take some quiet time in the barn. Then we'll enjoy a story together, followed by movement exercises, games and activities to nurture the non-verbal communication we establish with children as infants. The sessions are designed to be enjoyable for both adults and children.

We will gain vocabulary around the way we move and the way it feels, encourage our bodies to try new things, and enjoy telling stories with our bodies.

Sessions will use touch in deliberate, consensual and nurturing ways, always including the option for no physical contact.

Children should be accompanied by an adult - parents, grandparents and other caregivers all welcome! No prior dance experience or fancy kit needed.

Price per family: £12/session, minimum initial purchase of 4

Introductory session: £5/person
