We partnered with Activities 115, a local charity supporting adults with learning differences and disabilities, to provide a series of six creative and inclusive dance and movement workshops at Harbour House. The projects took place over the course of six weeks and culminated in a performance in our gallery.

We worked with local professional dance practitioner and creative enabler, Lauren Pomfret,for these sessions. Lauren has worked with many community groups as well as performing as a professional dancer. Her approach is inclusive and she has experience working with dancers with disabilities and neurodiversities.

The sessions were themed around the locality of Kingsbridge, which Lauren and the group split into the following topics: greetings, water, and birds. The group collaborated in developing movement sequences in response to the themes.
 

Some reflections from participants include:

‘I feel really proud of what we’ve done in five weeks'
‘I like it here’
When asked what's making them feel happy today, one participant said ‘seeing you guys’
