Together: A Three-Week Movement Series with Penny Chivas

A three-week series. One ticket (£100) covers all three sessions: Thursday 21 May, Thursday 28 May, and Thursday 4 June, 7pm to 8:30pm.

Across three weekly workshop sessions, we'll work with group improvisation scores, coming together to enjoy and reflect upon what it is to move together. How do we sense shared intentions even as we move with differing ways and interests?

Expect to be guided into a gentle led warm-up, followed by the sharing of scores working with space, proximity, touch and rhythm, moving through a variety of movement qualities with curated musical accompaniment from Iain Ross of Glasgow Soundbath.

Some movement or dance experience is required. Please only book if you can commit to attending all three sessions.

Venue: The Lilac Room, Queens Park Govanhill Parish Church, 170 Queens Drive, Glasgow
