Ahead of their public performance, visiting dance company Jolt will lead a special one-off workshop for dancers and learners which is designed to be inclusive and accessible for people with a range of abilities and support needs. Runs from 11am-12:30pm.

Jolt activities can be used in a wide range of spaces from workplace to school, artistic space or at home. They use music and movement to build connection, communication and creativity, creating spaces of freedom, exploration and joy.

 

This workshop will empower dancers’ imaginative responses through building.

  • Body awareness, focus, connection, musicality
  • Engagement: non-verbal communication, connecting through touch and play
  • Music: using music as landscape and language
  • Creativity: exploring and expressing own ideas

 

Designed to be inclusive and accessible for people with a range of abilities and support needs.
