Stimprovisation Workshop — lgbthealth.org.uk

A Stimprovisation (sense and movement) workshop for LGBTQ+ people (16+) in Glasgow
 

Join us for a Stimprovisation workshop with Dr Aby Watson.
 
Stimprovisation is stimming improvisation, a playful practice of sensory-seeking instant composition. Discovered and coined during Dr Aby Watson’s artistic research and developed for neurodivergent people, stimprovisation is about ‘unmasking’ and feeling freer.
 
In a Relaxed environment, neuroqueer choreographer Aby Watson will gently lead us through ways of stimprovising:

Movement (Stimdance)
Objects (Stimplements)
Voice (Sensinging)

 
For this workshop with LGBT Health and Wellbeing, we’ll focus on Stimplements: exploring sensory experiencing through objects.This workshop offers a practical introduction to stimprovising. You do not need performance experience to join us, only a willingness to play and explore! Come wearing clothes suitable for movement. All are welcome – you do not have to identify as neurodivergent to join.
