Silly serious sessions

This is a weekly space for anyone who wants to express their creativity and imagination through movement and voice. The sessions offer a safe space for being playful and silly together - to be our weird wonderful selves in the spirit of playfulness!
What to expect?
Each session will be a mix of physical theatre games and exercises, dance improvisation, expressive art and playing creatively with voice. Expect lots of moving, creating nonsense worlds and nonsense sounds and soundscapes - drawing from and soaring on our personal and collective imagination.
We will start each session with warm up games, dive deeper into play with a few longer exercises and finish with a grounding close. No previous experience is required, only a willingness to move and give it a go. This is a good space for someone dipping their toe into physical theater for the first time and a nice playfield for someone who has done it before.

About the facilitator:
Hi I’m Nina! I’ve got naughty elves inside my heart and I would love to share their joy and mischief with you! I also wish to share my inspirations and experience I gained in my training in contemporary dance, physical theatre, street theatre, music and expressive art, and invite all those naughty elves inside you to come out and play!

Disclaimer:
This is a group-based workshop — most games don't work with just a couple of people. A group of minimum 4 people is required to run each session. In case we're less than that on Thursday morning, I will email everyone booked with the option of refund or a spot the following week.
A note on moving: sessions involve continuous standing and full-body movement, including some floor work. If you have any questions about whether this is accessible for you, please reach out to me before booking: [email protected].
If money is tight but you would like to come, please reach out and we will find a way.
Any questions? Just send me a quick email: [email protected].
VENUE: The elephant house, 1 Dean Street, Bedminster, BS3 1BG.
TIMES: every Thursday from 19.00 to 20.30.
