Ways of Being Together – A discussion led by Jo Fong

Friday 5th Oct 2018

6pm – 9pm

Join Jo for a table discussion  – the kitchen table is where many a good idea will start.  This gathering is suitable for artists from any genre music, dance, visual arts, film… or perhaps you are someone who is interested in the question, What is Community?  Jo is interested in spontaneity, authentic encounters and drawing on our own experiences.  She wants to stimulate fresh conversation, empowerment and action, creating an art action or a pledge, something positive however small or potentially groundbreaking.  This project stimulates conversation around collaboration, participation, inclusivity…  We have also talked about parties, friendship, responsibility, gardens, permaculture and other things.  

As part of China Changing there will conversations about “Chineseness” in Britain.

Presence. Visibility. Audibility.

Ways of Being Together – A movement workshop led by Jo Fong
Saturday 6th Oct 2018
2pm – 6pm
This session is suitable for people who love to move and are interested in moving together: dancers, actors, circus folk, pilates teachers, japanese drummers, martial arts… experts and non-experts.
Choreographer Jo Fong leads a warm-up followed by pair work, group work and games that she has devised and developed as part of her creative process.  Working from the inside of the body to the outside and using guided improvisation, the process incorporates a sense of play and experimentation. Jo is interested in spontaneity and authentic encounters. The interaction is live and people adapt, make room, save, lead, follow, get out of the way, care, grow an energy and awareness, whether that be spacial, a shared joke or about the knowledge of what each human carries with them.  
Suitable for all aged 16+.
Free but ticketed. 
Places are limited so please sign up HERE
