Join Rebecca Bee at the Button Factory for a 6-week journey through movement, ritual, and expression. Autumn Ritual blends Dance Movement Therapy, eco-somatics, and ritual theatre to explore the wisdom of the body and the cycles of the Earth.
Through dance, breath, and creative tools like paint, poetry, and nature objects, we’ll uncover emotional layers, root into the body, and express what words cannot. This is not a performance, but a soulful practice to reconnect, regulate, and release.
Programme
INTRO WEEK (5th of May): The foundations of dance – Creating a safe container, exploring circle. WEEK 2, Rooted (12th May): Exploring Body as Earth, rooting down, releasing what is stuck, tribal roots. WEEK 3, What are we watering?
