Workshop overview:

Move and connect with your body in creative ways. Experience an active day of drama games and movement exercises designed to reconnect you to your body, spirit and purpose. We will be exploring a range of gentle exercises drawing on Gestalt and body-orientated methods. Fritz Perls challenges us to "lose our minds and come to our senses". Discover how simple movement exercises can relax and reinvigorate the chair-bound professional and enhance your physical and mental health.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Experience a range of drama and movement exercises for self reflection, relaxation and fun
• Build skills in drama and movement based exercises
• Learn practical, easy movement exercises to use every day
• Reflect in ways that are comfortable for you
• Work in the safe environment of a small group

Methods will include:

• Interactive presentations
• Large group discussions
• Pair and small group discussions
• Experiential drama and movement exercises 
• Practice with group work
• Reflection opportunities for application of methods
