Let's Play is back for monthly Trans+ multi sensory and movement based sessions.
It is a dance space that invites you to express your inner child and explore with movement in a pressure-free, held and caring space. In these sessions we will be using dance games to initiate movement with a series of props - scarves and ribbon sticks, herbs - star anise and cinnamon and upcycled items that are turned into dance objects such as clothes and toilet rolls to ground the experience, transform space and find joy in movement. It is a gentle, slow and sensory approach to movement, allowing you to go at your own pace.
All sessions include a grounding exercise, warm up, check ins, creative tasks or games, breaks, fun choreography, stretching and reflections with snacks! No experience necessary.

Please do not come if you are sick. These sessions will require you to wear mask throughout. However, if you have medical exemptions please let Ashley know before the session and you will be required to do a covid19 test.

The building is not covid safe however, where the session is held it will be safe(r).

There will be breaks in the session but please take breaks whenever you need. 2 foldable chairs will be available that are sturdy. Movements will be adaptable, its all about finding your own way of moving. You can take part by sitting on the floor, standing or sitting on a chair.
There will be a space in the studio where you can opt of out any activity to draw or have a snack. There is no quiet space but there are comfy couches outside the studio that will be quieter however, it is infront the toilets so there is possibility of people walking past.
Additional notes
Trans+ to us includes non-binary, agender, people who are questioning/unsure or gender fluid. Anyone who isnt cisgendered. Please respect our trans+ spaces as they are vital for our community.
Covid19 is still a mass disabling virus that affects us all especially to global majority and trans+ people. We are financially unable to make this a covid safe(r) event and could only get the resources we have now through mutual aid and Ashley's savings. We are doing our best to find ways to make this more accessible and Ashley is open to conversations on accessibility. If you like to know more on why we mask and are curious to join this movement of being consciously covid please read these beautiful zines.
