About event
A series of creative workshops for adults that fuses improvisational theatre techniques with free-flow art-making to form a unique creative journey of self-discovery.
Through integrating verbal, somatic and visual art practices, we engage both sides of the brain and access our subconscious in new ways. This approach to improv. and manual arts will refocus us on process, as opposed to outcome, opening more opportunities to experiment, build self-trust, and explore our creative potential.
Each workshop will involve a mindful arrival with music, movement and beginner-friendly collaborative improv. activities, transitioning into supported, free-flow play with a range of art materials (clay, collage, paint, pastels and more). Participants will have the opportunity to share their works, reflections and learnings in a closing ritual, bringing clarity to their journey through each workshop and the programme as a whole.
Join us if you are looking to:
- Build creative confidence and self-trust
- Explore new forms of expression
- Connect with your inner artist
- Work through creative blocks
- Improve communication, collaboration and adaptability
- Find physical and manual relief from your work environment and devices
- Let go of perfectionism and overthinking
- Relieve stress and boost dopamine :)
The Improv. Art Club will run for 6 weeks, from 7-9pm on Tuesdays, for 10 participants. Each workshop is standalone and can be joined independently, but attending the programme as a whole is recommended to benefit from the full experience.
Improv. Art Club takes place at a hidden gem theatre-gallery in Campo de Ourique.
