DATE: Thursday 20th – Friday 21st August

TIMES: 10am – 2pm

This workshop invites participants to explore writing through movement, touch and sensory awareness. Combining guided writing exercises with simple embodied practices, the workshop encourages language to emerge from physical experience rather than pre-planned ideas. Participants will experiment with attention, presence and perception, discovering new ways to connect body, material and text.

Open to artists, educators and anyone curious about body-based creative practices, the session offers a supportive and exploratory environment for creative expression. Through movement, reflection and writing, participants will develop a more intuitive and sensory approach to language and storytelling.

Materials Provided: All materials provided.

Materials Required: Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for free movement. Notebook and pencil

Optional: Water bottle, Yoga mat
