A short paragraph about why you’d like to come along at this time would also be most welcome.
Simone Kenyon and Fiona Wright are independent artists with shared backgrounds in performance and visual arts. They both have many years of experience between them in facilitating groups and collaborative work and are influenced by many somatic practices such as Awareness Through Movement and they are both currently training as practitioners of the Feldenkrais Method.
The main focus will be on walking within the surrounding area and along the local Pembrokeshire coast. This will be combined with sessions about finding easier movement and increased awareness of how we sense ourselves and our dynamic stability in gravity - whether this is in our everyday movement, performance work or general exercise.
We will meet each day as a group of up to ten people participating together on led walks and scheduled workshop time. Sessions on movement and awareness will take place in the nearby Manorbier community centre which will also be available as an indoor base.
No particular training or level of fitness is necessary, just a real interest in being outdoors and walking. Each person can find their own way in terms of balancing energy and resting as they most need as the weekend unfolds.
Things to bring will include a mat, blanket, materials for writing/drawing and of course a range of clothes for outdoors and indoors for the variety of weather that might accompany us!
There will also be time for individual space to relax, drift and explore. The coast offers some amazing beaches for swimming and relaxing with Skrinkle Haven and Church Doors beaches just minutes away from the accommodation.
Simone has been a performer, artist and producer for the past fifteen years working within a variety of contexts between dance and performance. Her work explores walking and our relationship to environments, particularly through her interest in Body Weather training. She has spent much time in Manorbier and explored the coastal pathways of Pembrokeshire.

It is possible to either one or both days. The workshops aim to be as accessible and inclusive as possible - an opportunity to take some time and space to explore. No particular training is necessary, just an interest in discovering through your own movement experience - whether your focus is to inform your work or to find more ease and spontaneity in everyday actions. Drawing on ideas found in Awareness Through Movement we will work quite slowly in guided lessons with the emphasis on independent process, always finding our own pace.
Bring a mat and/or blanket for floor work and warm clothes.
