Trowbridge Creative Playground: Play On Impulse
About Trowbridge Creative Playground:
Trowbridge Creative Playground is a new monthly creative space designed to bring creative people together through play, curiosity, and connection. Developed in partnership between Performance Artist Xavi De Santos and The Old Town Hall, Trowbridge Creative Playground offers a welcoming environment where participants are invited to explore the cross-disciplinary creativity in the town.
The expansion of the Creative Playground into Trowbridge, after the success of Bath’s Creative Playground, also founded by Xavi De Santos, reflects a commitment to making creativity accessible and rooted in community and allows everyone to (re)connect with their creative self and the creative community.
Trowbridge Creative Playground is open to adults of all creative backgrounds and experience levels, as well as anyone curious about exploring physicality, storytelling, improvisation, and community collaboration.
About this session:
What are our impulses? How can we learn to trust and follow them and perform with resonance? Using simple games and exercises, drawn from the worlds of Commedia and Clown, we will explore how movement, rhythm, silence and anticipation, can help bring moments of tenderness or ridiculousness. We will look at how to share these moments with others onstage, and how to share what we are feeling with the audience. This workshop is open to all. Come and play! Revel in your own uniqueness!
