What’s Happening in Creative Learning?
The season is well underway, and we have lots to share with you from our Creative Learning team…
Mature Movers
Our Mature Movers are enjoying their classes, moving together and exploring different styles.
In the first half-term, they were invited to perform in Dance City’s INSPIRE Platform in Newcastle. The INSPIRE platform is a celebration of dance and ageing, which showcases 55+ community dance across the region. Since half-term, the class have been looking at line dancing and disco-inspired routines.
Experience it for yourself here.
Get Moving
We only have two sessions left of our Get Moving classes, where the dance artists will be Lucy Nicholson and Paige Douglas. These are fun classes that you can dip in and out of, encouraging connection with your body and the joy of movement.
About the tutors
Lucy Nicholson is a professional dance and movement artist, who specialises in bodily awareness, creative practice and movement direction.
In Lucy’s friendly and inclusive classes, she uses a system called LMBS that supports bodily awareness, and finding wholeness and efficiency, as well as discovering new ways to move.
Paige Douglas delivers contemporary dance and creative sessions within the community, and her style is grounded in contemporary technique with ballet influences. In Paige’s classes, there will be contemporary techniques and creative tasks with opportunities to connect with each other in the space.
