Sessions will use informal improvisation tools, movement and dialogue to explore yourself, your connection to music and build community. You don't need any formal dance training to participate in this experience.

This workshop is part of a wider exhibition by artist ILĀ, and offers a chance to engage more deeply with the themes of the show through movement. It will be led by one of the artists involved in ILĀ's opening night on the 4th of June, giving you a unique chance to move to ILĀ's music.

During the session, artist Rovaneche will create a live painting in response to your movement, capturing the energy and expression of the space as you dance.

The session will be led by Ballet Queer's founder and choreographer, Jonathan Watkins, who has been a dancer for over 20 years, including with the Royal Ballet and recently collaborated with John Grant to create a new dance production, 'A Single Man'.

In trainers or comfortable shoes for moving, we will play games and warm up our bodies. Next, we will work with questions from and music by ILĀ to create movements that come from your body and are within your capabilities. There will be time at the end for casual conversation and discussion between the group. This is an open workshop, and everyone is warmly invited to take part.
