Pop-up Performance: Mindful Movements  photo
Join us for an inclusive, playful workshop inspired by the shapes and lines we see around us in the museum and beyond.
 
As we look at the world around us what shapes and lines do we see?  What if these shapes and lines could make us dance? How can movement make us draw?
As a family create drawings and get inspired by colours then use them to create movements and dances that explore your inner worlds.
Together we will create individual drawings and dances that will become one collective drawing to dance to.  
 
Each session is approximately 40 minutes long, starting at 11:00, 13:00 and 15:00.  
 
Capacity will be limited. Please allow some extra time to queue for a space.  
This is a free, drop-in event for families to enjoy all together; no child can be left unattended. Suitable for ages 5+.
