about MOVING PERCEPTION:

The project will provide a series of inclusive specialized             movement workshops, welcoming people living in the local        Lambeth community and beyond, and in particular welcoming    people with visual impairment. The workshops are open to       everybody -sighted and non sighted- and they are free!           
The workshops will be delivered by professional movement specialists with difference techniques specialization which will range from The Feldenkrais Method to Skinner Release Technique, Franklin Method and Thai Chi, Pilates and Contact Improvisation amongst others.
Those techniques are particularly accessible to people with visual impairment as foreground kinaesthetic empathy over visual mimesis.
The participants are invited to move their perception of their own bodies and the environment throughout the exercises, discovering a greater ease of movement and developing self confidence.
The weekly inclusive tango sessions organized by Adriana Pegorer in the last 2 years have proved that creating a space for people to learn together in a mutal relationship is possible and provide a different learning experience.
Those workshops will enable the participants to enter similar mainstream dance sessions in the future with self-assurance and more awareness of their own bodies and the environment.
Participants will explore movement in an energetic, fun and safe way  as well as introspectively.
