Sunday 21st June 2.30-4.30pm
OPENhouse, The Painswick Inn, Gloucester Street, Stroud. GL5 1QG.
Dance artists Sharon Gimpel and Brenda Waite invite you to join them in exploring how the body and senses engage the imagination and creative potential in the drawing process.
The workshop will guide participants into playful, intuitive drawing in a space that fosters curiosity and experimentation. Beginning with an introduction to somatic practise we will enliven our physical, sensory and spatial awareness.
We will create a fluid and playful space, inhabiting and drawing from different viewpoints, the dancers working responsively with stillness, simple compositions and dynamic movement qualities. Combining small and large scale, working with paper on the walls and floor for both individual and collective creation, giving time for witnessing and reflection.
Bring your own sketch books and drawing materials. Large rolls of paper along with chairs, cushion material and table will be provided. Please wear soft comfortable clothing.
All levels of experience welcome!
Tickets £10/£15

The potential that movement practices have in supporting well-being, creativity, and deeper connection.

Her work is grounded in practises that accentuate ‘liveness’ and fostering connection between others.
