‘Narratives through Movement’ Workshop with the wonderful Ramanjit Kaur at the beautiful studios at The Creative Arts Academy.

An inquiry into how dance moves beyond physical form to uncover layered narratives. In this space, the body is understood as a living archive of stories - where every gesture, breath, pause, and transition holds memory, intention, and emotion, gradually revealing meaning as it is observed.

🗓️ 22nd August
🕰️ 11am to 1pm
