A creative movement workshop celebrating the lived-in experience of movers over 50 years old. The workshop is designed for anyone who enjoys moving- including artists, athletes, dancers, dog-walkers, and those who like a good wiggle. After a simple warm-up, participants will explore interior and exterior spatial awareness through movement and creative prompts that tap into the lived life of the body as we evolve.
*No dance experience required. Please wear comfortable clothes you can move in and if possible, a blanket and yoga mat. Live musical accompaniment by James Mead.
