As you would expect from Katie’s unique approach to creative teaching, this course will include meditation and some informal freeform dance exercises and music to connect with the body, and the senses. But don’t panic: you do not need to be a dancer to do this course! You will be encouraged to move your body and make marks, with ink, paint and charcoal. You will be given charcoal on sticks, ink in buckets, and a mop as your brush.
Through Katie’s gentle guidance, you will learn to overcome the paralysis of ‘overthinking’ by practicing spontaneous movement, and letting this flow into your marks, without being restricted by expectations and outcomes.
