Contact and Creativity is a new offering from Andrea Hobbs and Jayne Johnson. This half day session will invite you to move to carefully curated playlists, whilst making intuitive and un-guided marks interwoven with your dance. Using these two non-verbal creative mediums, we will explore contact with our selves, and with the wider world: the natural and man-made environment, and everything in the seen (physical) and unseen (metaphysical) realms.
We will invite you to gently explore your own unique creative expression through movement and mark-making in an experimental, embodied, and explorative way, and together we will create a personal and shared ‘danced art-work’.
Working together for the first time, Andrea and Jayne will weave together their shared passions and experiences in movement and mark-making to create a warm, safe, and inviting space to explore the theme of contact and creativity.
Jayne is an experienced movement workshop leader, wild therapist, psychotherapist, and shamanic practitioner.
Andrea is experienced in facilitating creative groups and retreats for women, and is an artist, crafter, wild therapist, and oracle card reader.
Booking is essential.
The hall at Gilling West is an inviting communal space with a solid oak floor that means our indoor dancing has a connection to the trees around us in the outdoors.
Teas and coffee with light snacks will be available during the mid-morning break, but please bring anything that you need for your own comfort.
We suggest you wear layered and loose fitting clothes, and you may wish to bring along something to sit or lie on, a blanket for warmth, as well as a journal or notebook. The floor is suitable for bare feet but you may wish to wear non-slip socks or light shoes.
All suitable art materials for the mark making will be provided.
Please contact us to book and pay, or for further details if you want to find out more prior to booking.
