CDP program fully embodies the concept of learning through play and exploration. It seamlessly integrates playful activities with the examination of the body, voice, femininity, object performativity, and various movement inversions.
The CDP program is not merely a mission but a deeply heartfelt proposition aiming to create a nurturing and imaginative environment for low-income freelance artists. It strives to provide high-quality education and practical experience, comparable to what one would expect from a prestigious higher education institution.
The objectives of the 3-month programme are:
- To improve physical awareness through a variety of mindful, somatically-informed movement classes
- To further enrich and challenge your existing art practice, if applicable
- To discover the notion of learning through play
- To immerse yourself in a stimulating creative environment
- To contribute to a new community value that promotes movement as a dialogue
- To develop your own toolkit for leading, hosting, and delivering a project
- To physically and spiritually keep your self in on ongoing creative project
The program overview:
Classes take place on Saturdays from 11:00 to 16:00 at Chisenhale Dance Space, E3 5QZ.
