What Makes A Village? Movement and Discussion Workshop
As part of the development of a new dance-theatre work, VILLAGERS, by Rachel Elizabeth Coleman, this free workshop is open to anyone with lived experience of rural living. The 2 hour session will see participants taken through a series of gentle movement and discussion exercises, these opening up creative conversations with strangers on belonging, identity and connection for rural communities.
The workshop will directly contribute to a new piece of dance performance, created by Rachel Elizabeth Coleman and a company of practitioners based in the South West, being made at AMATA Arts Centre in Falmouth this summer.
The workshop is open to all ages and no movement experience is required to participate. The only requirement is that you identify as having experience of rural living — this might mean having grown up rurally, moved to a rural place, or working in a rural area.
Please note, this workshop is happening in the Studio upstairs. There are 20 steps, and no lift. Apologies to anyone who is excluded by this.
