Drawing from Line Packer’s boat-building practice and Zoë Leigh Gadd’s expertise in movement, this dance workshop will offer a playful and fun way to connect with Windermere’s boatbuilding culture, artisan skills and stories. Through guided movement, creative exercises and shared exploration, participants will be encouraged to think about how our bodies move when crafting, creating and working with materials. No previous dance experience is needed, and the workshop is suitable for all levels. This event is hosted in partnership with The Human Playground, a Dance Ahead project. The Human Playground is Dance Ahead CIC’s developing programme of playful movement, theatre and shared creative exploration for adults.
