Props for balance, catching, movement and exploration will be introduced and provided such as Swiss balls, slack lines, balance beams, catching and throwing objects and more.
Children 8+ and adults will be encouraged to collaborate and interact in tasks.
The feelings of equality and respect will be fostered in order for a playful and enjoyable experience for all.

Facilitator Bio-
I am Brian a physiotherapist who works with adults and children and has a fascination with movement. I have put on workshops in the past and am passionate about using balance and dance to get more present in my body. I have also been very engaged with getting back into play as a way to harbour joy and healing in my body and those of my clients. I am a playful soul and really try to encourage collaboration and equality as the focus of any movement practices.
