Let’s Interplay!
(Crafting Your Skills)
Tue 5 Feb, 6-8.30pm

This workshop will introduce simple yet powerful forms for creating stories in the moment by taking the stuff of our life experiences and creating stories from it. Using the Interplay method – based on a series of incremental ‘forms’ that lead participants to movement, stories, silence, song, ease and amusement – Mairi Campbell (musician, singer and dancer) leads this session to inspire our stories and connection with others. Expect to laugh, play, connect and explore; discover your hidden resources and be surprised by what you can do! No experience needed – open to all.
