A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and in these days of sitting at video games and staring at mobiles, children’s need for analog imaginative physical activity has never been greater.
After a warm up of stretching and breathing featuring fun elements of yoga and qi-gong, Steve will guide the group through dramatic visualisation and role play, a journey through time and space from animalistic and somatic movement through Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms (flow-stacatto-chaos-lyrical-stillness) to a chance to either dance or play percussion or both.
The session will end with reading a short story in English followed by its dramatic reinactment.
Benefits:
✔️ Freeform physiotherapy
✔️ English language practice
✔️ Rhythmic techniques
✔️ Empathy through theatre
