Lockdown Community-Building Dance Workshops, London
I led several movement workshops in the street in lockdown London in the summer of 2020. They were at first aimed at children but then there were many adults who wanted to join in. One of the exercises involved getting into pairs and mirroring each others movements. One couple particularly enjoyed it and came up to me after one of the workshops and said with a glint in their eye, “I think you may have just saved our marriage!”. Moving/dancing together, within our community can be such a relief to us all especially within the heaviness and intensity of a pandemic lockdown.
