From time-to-time Flourish movers come together for a more intensive experience. This can be a day together or a longer project

Here are some amazing projects which spread a little of the elusive stuff.

I Like to Move; I Move What I Can

Over several months, a multidisciplinary creative project came together taking inspiration from precious objects in the homes of 4 women and the stories associated with them: stories of childhood, love, family, brass bands, teddy bears, and photographs. The women have limited mobility and attend the Flourish Monday zoom class,

From these stories came music and dance, the movement was then re-interpreted by members of the Flourish Tuesday Group.

The 4 films below will tell you about the women, their stories and how the project developed

Earth From Memory – A Research Project

As part of the series of workshops Lewys Holt undertook in Hull researching his new performance piece Flourish dancers joined with students from Hull College degree course to explore some ideas.

Lewys and independent dance artist TC led creative movement and writing tasks, skilfully developing participants’ curiosity about what dance is and what it can be, whilst gleaning material for Earth From Memory. It was a lovely day of calm, connection and creativity
