Movement and the Mind: The Laban Technique

Description: 

How does the way you move reflect how you feel? And what happens when you move differently? 

Join performer and facilitator Alistair Bourne for Movement and the Mind, a two-hour workshop using the Laban technique to explore how physical movement connects with our emotional and mental states. Created for LGBTQIA+ young adults aged 16+, this session offers a playful and embodied way to understand yourself and others through motion. 

You’ll explore: 

• The foundations of Laban movement analysis 
• How different movement qualities can reflect or shift emotions 
• Movement exercises to help tune into how you're feeling 
• Space to play, reflect, and move without judgement 

No acting or dance experience needed - this is about curiosity, not choreography. Come in comfy clothes, ready to stretch, breathe, and explore.
