Trowbridge Creative Playground: Movement & Drawing
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:
Using the body as a starting point I want to provide a space that allows participants to have their own creative input, create their own artwork and share their somatic life and experience. Workshops focus on how to document physicality, meaning and memory using, drawing and writing on paper. Looking at the body as an archive of movement; a document of movement material and experience, struck me as something I wish to examine more closely. My body embodies my dance and movement experiences as well as other life experiences. As part of the workshop we will discuss the various thoughts and ideas that arise from this stimulus and use this as our starting point. We will then explore this through various movement and drawing tasks.
