How do we bring our full selves into our practice?
Location:
Timings: 12:00 - 13:30 BST
Susanna Dye (they/them, she/her) is a queer, neurodivergent artist working at the intersection of dance, physical theatre, live and visual art.

Susanna’s practice is unfolding from questioning how they can develop ways of being with and within choreographic practice that are informed by their lived experience of neurodivergence, and create space for their specific access needs within the creative process, to share their pleasure of sensing and moving.

How can we bring our full selves to our practice? In this online workshop, Susanna will share how this question has shaped their ongoing research project STIMMING R&D, which explores their relationship with movement as a way of self-regulating, and what their dance practice can learn from habitual self-regulating movement patterns known as stimming movements.

The workshop will unfold as a space for reflecting alone and in dialogue, to share ways in which we might support our full selves being present in our practice.

There will be space for considering “what parts of ourselves do we want to create space for in our practice?” and “what changes might be called for, when we give these parts of ourselves permission to be present, both within ourselves, our methods and our sector?”

This Zoom event is free of charge to People Dancing Members and £5.00 for non-members.
