Join Deaf artist Chisato Minamimura for a workshop that will explore your movement and senses.
What to expect:
Drawing on improvisation and her unique way of exploring sound and movement as a Deaf artist, Chisato Minamimura will lead participants through an exploration to focus and use their senses to create movements that are unique to them. The group will also investigate the importance of personal space and relationships with others, using patterns and geometric shapes.
Chisato speaks in British Sign Language and will be accompanied by two interpreters.
Experience level:
All ages and all people who are comfortable with movement, as the workshop will involve a lot of moving around. Wear relaxed clothing and be prepared to move barefoot.
