About the Workshop:
Expect a playful, honest and creative workshop celebrating ourselves, connecting to and moving with others. Through improvisation, creative exercises and repertoire we will use movement to explore, examine and dig a little deeper into ourselves and delve into the creative process of Chess Dillon-Reams’ new work M-Othering.
Upcoming performances of M-Othering: Fri 30th & Sat 31st May @ The Old Market Theatre, Brighton
