This series of movement-based workshops invites participants to explore the stories and inherent wisdom of their body through somatic movement practices, creative expressions (intuitive writing, mark-making), and improvisation.

The workshops are anchored in exploring sensations, feelings and experiences in the body in the movement (or stillness) that creates pathways toward one's awareness and creativity.

This final session will be focused on LEGS and FEET to explore the relationship of our body to the gravity and the earth, and find our own support with the contact of the ground.

Everyone is welcome! No prior movement, dance, or art experience is needed. You’re very welcome to join even if this is your first session, and there’s no requirement to attend all four.

Saturday 2nd May
19:30 onwards

A dance party where all bodies are invited. You already know how to dance, we're just here to give you permission to embrace all of the ways your body wants to move.

Come alone, come with friends, dip in a toe or plunge in the deep end. However you want to party, we're here for it. No experience necessary, just bring shoes you can move in.

So that everyone feels safe to unleash their full selves on the dancefloor our only rule is to be excellent to one another. What does that mean? We expect you to be great at respecting other peoples' boundaries and bodies, to pay attention, and to use your words if you're unsure. Trust us, asking is way less awkward than getting it wrong.

We'll kick off the evening with an intro to social dancing for anyone who'd like some tips on dancing with a partner, before local DJ's get us moving with tracks ranging from slow and squishy to high-energy bangers.

Like: connected online. exhibited IRL brings together eight female artists who first formed connections in digital spaces and are now exhibiting side by side in a physical setting for the first time.

Through their work, the artists explore themes of identity, womanhood, memory and everyday experience, creating an exhibition that is both personal and collective in its voice.

Emerging from a space often defined by speed, visibility and fleeting interaction, LIKE offers something more considered. It invites viewers to pause – to look more closely and to reflect on the ways art helps us understand ourselves and each other.

The exhibition also offers a timely reflection on the evolving nature of artistic communities in the digital age, where boundaries between virtual and physical spaces continue to blur.

Sunday 24th May
19:00 - 21:00
