About this Event
Workshop 6: Writing and movement – with Chloë Sayers
This workshop invites you to explore where and how movement and writing intersect. Through simple and playful exercises we’ll think about writing as an embodied practice and explore ways of tuning into the body and writing choreographically. No movement experience required.
Creative forms of journalling offer an accessible, personal and often genuinely illuminating reflective practice, with the potential to make a quiet but lasting difference to our wellbeing. But how do we make space for these kinds of activity in daily life, and how might we expand them beyond conventional, diary-like narratives?
Beginning with the core idea of journalling and the page, expanding outward to where journalling meetings drawing, movement, storytelling and sound, The Present Page offers a series of 6 practical workshops, each led by experienced artist-practitioners. In each session we will explore a new creative practice together in a friendly and no-pressure environment, also considering how each practice might be folded into busy daily routines.
Thanks to Create Berwick funding, we are delighted to be able to offer The Present Page free of charge to Berwick residents. All materials and refreshments are provided, and no previous experience is needed. Places are limited; please book early to reserve a place.
