This workshop, led by Linzy Na Nakorn and Rachel Clerke, is part of current research and development for a new participatory performance that looks to draw communities together to reclaim and re-imagine public spaces. Under the umbrella of 'political.Movement' (working title) Linzy is collaborating with dancers, writers, theatre makers, the public and communities in Salisbury, Bristol, London and across the UK to explore the question 'what is worth dancing for?' if dance can be seen as a solo or collective action/movement of resistance, resilience, re-claiming and/or re-imagining.
This Zoom event is free of charge to People Dancing Members and £5.00 for non-members.
Bookings for this event are now closed
Booking deadline: Tuesday 23 November 2021.
About Linzy Na Nakorn and Rachel Clerke
Linzy Na Nakorn is a dance artist, movement director and facilitator based in Bristol, UK. Her current work explores how movement can be used as a tool for solo and collective acts of resilience and resistance, using dance and somatic practice as a framework for lifting, empowering and igniting conversation and questioning around connectivity, visibility and community.
She is currently interested in exploring future histories and acts of disruption to re-imagine and reclaim public spaces towards more sustainable and radical futures. She is a Wiltshire Creative Engine Room resident artist, a practitioner for Frantic Assembly and associate artist of Bittersuite, having facilitated and performed internationally and across the UK. She lives with a chronic health condition, with rest being inbuilt into her practice in a multiplicity of ways.
