6-9pm Join facilitators Deepraj and Pete this summer to be led in movement based improvisation tasks that focus on joy, simplicity, getting out of one's head or comfort zone, and enhancing community and wellbeing. Both Deepraj and Pete are experienced in facilitating spaces where people can tell their stories verbally and non - verbally. This workshop draws upon their experience in dance, physical theatre and movement and explores more abstract improv - movement and emotion led rather than language led. This session would be a great for: Improvisers who are a bit stuck in their bodies People who love moving People for whom English is a second language People who want something different to enhance wellbeing Anyone who wants to have fun! About the facilitators Peter Pearson is a visually impaired performer and theatre maker trained at Drama Studio London and co director of The Growth House - a theatre company that creates dynamic, multidisciplinary performances that are intimate, emotional and, for them, sweaty. Pete is experienced in devised physical theatre comedy, improvisation, has performed nationally and internationally since 2015. Pete also teaches improv at The Bristol Improv Theatre. Deepraj Singh is a movement artist based in Bristol. After graduating from London Contemporary Dance School, where he was awarded a scholarship, he has continued performing in professional pieces both nationally and internationally and draws upon various dance techniques when creating pieces, which are rhythmically explorative and emotionally driven. He has recently been delving in to more community based practices, pulling inspiration from his heritage and the Panjabi community/Bhangra. Using improvisation to build a community is prominent within his own work, representing authenticity, collective human experience and endeavouring to make pieces as accessible as possible. image credit: Tayyibah Aziz Malik
