SUMMARY:The adder through movement workshop
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED – A new date will be issued for this event. \nEveryone is invited to a free full-day ‘Adder through Movement’ workshop\, at Stanhope Community Centre\, Saturday 10 January\, 10am to 4pm. \nAs part of the North Pennines National Landscape Adders Up project\, contemporary dancer Hollie Coleman and traditional folk dancer Gillow are offering a unique dance workshop exploring the Adder through movement. \nThe session will help shape the choreography for two large-scale adder puppets\, which will “dance” at the Weardale Wassail in January\, as well as develop a themed folk dance for participants to perform. The aim is that people will be able to follow the puppets in a lively\, snake-inspired procession — dancing as they go. \nHosted by Weardale Together\, the workshop will feature playful games\, warm-ups\, and creative movement exploration in the morning. In the afternoon\, participants will learn traditional folk dances that weave and flow like snakes\, creating beautiful\, intertwining sequences ready for January’s celebration. No experience necessary. All children must be accompanied by an adult. \nThe workshop will also shine a light on local adder conservation\, raising awareness of the species and the conservation efforts taking place across the North Pennines. \nPlease bring a packed lunch and drinks.
