This two hour-long creative movement workshop facilitated by Mitch King and Tess Eckert invites participants of all ages to explore movements inspired by the elements that make up our inner and outer landscapes. This workshop will include guided visualisations and fun creative games and tasks using the elements of dance (space, shape/gesture, time, emotion, story) to explore the elements of water, earth, air, fire, and the animal body to reconnect through our bodies to country.
Open to all ages and abilities. No prior dance experience needed. Children under 13 years old must be accompanied by a guardian. Please wear clothing that is comfortable to move in, a water bottle, a journal, an open mind and curious body!
Free. Places are limited and registrations are essential.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Mitch King
Mitch King is a performing artist, creative producer, and a proud Yaegl & Widjabul Wia-bul man from the Bundjalung nation on the east coast of Australia. His main disciplines are music, theatre, and dance - he loves telling stories through sound, movement and film.
Tess Eckert
Tess Eckert is a Scape-artist, expressive arts activist, facilitator, and student of life. That is to say, she is fascinated by creatively exploring the relationship between our diverse inner and outer landscapes via contemporary dance, poetry, sound, and mixed-media. Tess utilises the language of dance/movement and somatic arts for community building, healing, and social justice. Eckert is a descendent of U.S. First Nation’s, German and Swedish ancestors. Having migrated to the Bundjalung Nation/Northern Rivers 12 years ago from the Rocky Mountains of North America, central to Eckert’s collaborations is an investigation of how to create a sense of belonging and connection to our inner and outer worlds, with the aim of opening up possibilities for healthier ways of being, relating and moving.
This workshop is part of Tracing the Past, Shaping the Future Exhibition. This exhibit contrasts the Bundjalung people's Country-centred worldview with today’s Eurocentric approaches, examining changes in our physical environment from pre-colonial times to now. Through the lens of plant communities, we invite you to reflect on how we can learn from the past to guide our stewardship of the land moving forward.
