Overview

Designed for persons with different abilities, including participants with Autism, Down Syndrome and other learning or physical differences, this workshop offers a safe, joyful and non-judgemental environment for creative movement exploration. Led by Aida Redza, this workshop explores the body that remembers as a pathway to authentic movement, connection and memory.

Through somatic and sensory practices, breath, touch, rhythm and object manipulation, participants explore how the body senses, remembers and responds. Objects (scarves, sticks, fans or any object from home) become sensory-motor tools inviting touch, play, interaction and repetition to awaken bodily memory and discover individual ways of expressing movement freely. Through playful and guided activities, participants can explore coordination, awareness, communication, confidence and connection. At the end of the workshop, participants will put together movements inspired by everyday gestures, familiar actions and sensory activities.
