Moving Connections - Exploring presence and connections through embodied movement

Welcome to an evening of embodied movement and heartfelt presence, inviting us to explore deeper connection with ourselves and others, with openness and curiosity. Everybody is welcome. New venue! We are meeting at Whittington Park Community Centre, just 8 minutes' walk from Upper Holloway Station, with easy parking and buses. Inspired by freestyle movement and partner dance practices, Moving Connections is a chance to move and be moved, relax into our bodies, and explore connection through simple exercises that help us meet and connect without words, in a light and embodied way. No skills or experience are needed, just an open mind, curiosity and a willingness to have a go. Schedule 6:45pm: Doors open 7:00pm: Opening circle, introductions and guidelines 7:15pm: Guided exercises and movement in pairs, small groups or alone 8:00pm: Free-flow movement space with live violin 9:00pm: Closing circle 9:15pm: Time to hang out together 9:45pm: Event ends Please arrive before 7pm so we can share the complete journey together. We recommend bare feet or flat indoor shoes, and comfortable clothes that are easy to move in, with layers for temperature changes. Bring a water bottle. This is an alcohol-, smoke- and drug-free event. Please respect everyone's choices around physical contact and connection. Everyone is free to choose with whom, when and how they connect, and to say no. A limited number of lower-priced tickets may be available. The crew can attend for free in exchange for helping with setup and pack-down.
