MOVEMENT WORKSHOP (10am-12pm): Join Margate Arts Club in their morning movement workshop hosted by Lily Ockwell and Will Thompson, two performing professionals drawing on years of experience performing and teaching with companies such as Punchdrunk and Michael Keegan-Dolan's Teac Damsa amongst many more. The workshop will begin with a guided movement / yogic meditation accompanied by live music selections. Featuring somatic dance and theatrical exercises, games and guided improvisation; the workshop will proceed to focus on how we can become more in-tune with our bodies and with each other, to awaken your creative instincts and feel present within yourselves, to facilitate a space in where expression can take full bloom.
