About the event:

Join us for a one-day movement improvisation workshop, working both inside and outside in the beautiful setting of Braziers Park, facilitated by performer and artist Alice Gale-Feeny.

Explore the possibilities of improvisation as a creative tool and develop confidence in stepping into the unknown. Practise fine-tuning your attention, cultivating awareness of sensation, and improvising in changing environments, without the need for a plan.

You will be supported to record what you learn through moving and to reflect on how each facilitated task unlocks new information that can fuel a creative process.

You will be supported to broaden your awareness of your own process and embed this awareness into your learning, leaving with tools to guide you beyond the workshop.

You do not need to know how to dance or be able to follow choreography. Movement improvisation offers a different possibility and creative framework, guided in part by your body, your ways of moving, and creative impulses that emerge through the process of moving. This is about learning how you may want to move and how different environments may creatively stimulate new ideas, as well as exploring the empowering potential that comes from reflecting on your particular process.

You will be supported by the interesting and unique environment of Braziers Park, the collective energy of the group, and a practitioner with over 12 years of experience in improvisation and performance.

She has worked solo, collaboratively and site-responsively over this time, and brings these experiences into her approach to the workshop.

She completed a BA in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University (2009–12).
