CPD workshop

Hope you're all beginning to get a workable balance between your home / working / studying lives this week?  Lovely to see the beginnings of your journey's through your blogs on this, and very pleased that you are realising you're very much not alone...we are all great jugglers!

I apologise for the lack of notice on this one, but wanted to flag up to you a series of CPD workshops I am co-running across this year with two other colleagues that I work with on the BA dance programmes at Middlesex.

It's called Creative Spaces, and it is essentially that;  us offering professional dancers / practitioners, post grad students, and final year under grad students, space and time within which to explore movement ideas collectively.  These sessions aim to be open to all, for whatever suits their needs that day, so participants are very welcome to fully engage on a practical level as thinking/moving bodies, on a choreographic/creative level feeding in thoughts and observations for extending explorations and / or engage purely as observers, maybe to view a way of working that is a different practice to your own.  Whichever mode suits, we hope everyone will find the day of value to their own professional development.

The first session is next SUNDAY OCT 20, 11.00-15.00, at our Hendon Campus.  Full details of the CPD programme including future dates are below for you.  Do contact me if you have any queries, would be lovely to see some of you some of the sessions if you can make it.

CREATIVE SPACES

A CPD project offering time and space within which to experiment with movement, ideas, share practice, feed creatively from one another and enjoy some time, off schedule, on a Sunday just to move…

Creative Spaces will run as a programme of four days at intervals across 2013/14.  The days will take the format of open workshops facilitated collectively by Helen Kindred, Louise Kelsey and April Brown and are open to the professional dance community, inclusive of final year dancers in training, graduates and post-graduate students. 

It is thought that the concept of identity will offer a common presence throughout all sessions, with an encouragement on how we define, realise, embody and present this, through the explorations that will be initiated.
