The beautiful Isle of Mull is our venue for this summer workshop of movement and creative play. We’ll be heading out in search of buried treasure, secret soul gems waiting to be discovered.
Dancing with wind and water, making art from nature, engaging with sand, stone, wood and weed, with the sound of the waves on the shore and the call of the seabird. We’ll be playing with pastels and paint, putting pen to paper and allowing body and soul to be moved by music - and by silence. This delicious combination of wild nature, expressive arts and 5 Rhythms dance will be our treasure map. Your treasure is yours to find. It is unique to you. This will be a personal journey but in the company of a small band of fellow travellers. It will be a true holiday – i.e. holy days - sacred time out to nurture, to feed and to listen in to the soul. And, as we all know, an island is the quintessential home of buried treasure. |

Drawn to Dance – Landmarks
during Art Walk Porty 2019
with Sarena Wolfaard and Jenny Smith
Sat 7th Sept 10am – 2pm (Save the date)
Starting with a walk on Portobello beach, to collect natural landmarks, we will explore ways to use these as a starting point to create individual and collective dance-drawings, working in Bellfield Community Centre with dance, charcoal and chalks. We will explore ways the inner and outer landscape of the body meets the landscape of the natural world and how marks “land” when we draw in an embodied way. Open to all. No previous drawing or dance experience required. Conscious dance has no steps. Through the dance we connect to an inner space of mystery and creativity. We will explore a process-based approach to drawing that is equally accessible to those with or without previous drawing experience.
“It’s inspiring, exciting and fun, a great way to get the creative juices flowing. Totally non-judgemental about anyone’s individual “artistic talent” and fully focused on accessing, sharing and playing with the creativity in all of us. The teachers are experienced and professional and hold the group expertly.” Beth
“It has a much broader impact than just your dancing or drawing – in many ways it’s one big metaphor for the creative process, or even for life itself.” Nick
We will be running this workshop as part of Art Walk Porty www.artwalkporty.co.uk which runs from 7-15 Sept in Portobello. Special thanks Art Walk Porty for subsidising the cost of the workshop.
Venue: Bellfield Community Centre, Bellfield Road, Portobello, Edinburgh, EH15 2BP
Cost: £35 Refreshments & Art Materials Included.
Date: Sat 7 September 2019
Time: Sat: 10.00 – 2:00pm. Numbers Limited. Early booking advised
On-line booking will open when Art Walk Porty’s programme is announced in early June. Please save the date meanwhile.
Sarena Wolfaard has been facilitating conscious dance for 15 years. She is a Publisher and an advanced student of Process Work. www.movetobestill.com
Jenny Smith is a professional artist, with over 30 years experience of teaching and exhibiting in a wide variety of contexts. www.jennysmith.org.uk
Drawn to dance is one of a family of “drawn to” workshops that artist Jenny Smith teaches, inspired by the things she is drawn to, other than her art practice. For further details of other workshops she runs in Edinburgh click here
