In this 2-day dance workshop Kimberley invites you to join her in a curious and creative space where we will explore different ways to ‘meet’ and dance with ourselves and each other. Kimberley will offer various exercises and creative tasks as a way to delve into the different possibilities of your own individual way of moving. From there, we will then see what it can mean to work with, alongside or in connection with others. The workshop will draw on Kimberley’s experience of the contemporary dance sector and inclusive practice as well as themes directly related to her work with Subtle Kraft.
This workshop is open to individuals over 18 with and without disabilities, including dance practitioners, movement artists, and anyone interested in exploring inclusive dance practice. Registration is for the 2 days only.
