Body & Voice

A Workshop for Women

with Leela Fisk & Kate Reed

A rich morning of movement, sound, words and creative expression, co-led by Leela Fisk and Kate Reed.

We’ll explore deep embodiment and finding our voices, allowing murmurings and movement to take form as words and pour into expression, perhaps even into a poem.

With a range of solo, partner and group enquiries, the workshop will include mindful movement, sound and writing, making space to listen to what wants to emerge from the body, without needing to know where it’s going. 

Weather permitting, we’ll also spend some time in Dartington Gardens, weaving sensory experience of the natural world into our explorations.

No experience of movement or writing is needed, just come with your curiosity and a willingness to explore.

This is a Movement for Life community group project, supported by National Lottery Community Funding.

This workshop is for cis women and those assigned female at birth who identify as gender non-binary/gender fluid. Apologies that some flyers did not state that this is an women-only event.If any other gender identities are interested, do let us know and if there’s enough interest we would create more offerings.

Booking Conditions

Please let us know about any injuries, physical limitations or sensitivities that may affect your participation.

While movement can be therapeutic, this is not a therapy session. Please consider whether you feel emotionally and physically resourced enough to take part on the day.

You are responsible for listening to your body and working within your own physical limitations. This also applies if we move outside into the gardens, where the ground and surroundings may be uneven.
