Join us on Sunday 17th November from 2pm - 4:30pm at Higham Hill Hub. The space comprises a portacabin (also where toilets are located), enclosed outdoor area and large white tent.
PORTACABIN (SENSORY SPACE):
This space will be inhabited by Social Cinema who present SHORT/CUT.
SHORT/CUT is a series of relaxed screenings of shorts without dialogue for disabled and non-disabled children to enjoy together in a relaxed environment.
The animations will run throughout the session with the sensory art workshop alongside it so children can choose how they would like to enjoy the experience. Whether it be sitting and watching the animations for the whole time, trying the art workshop whilst watching or doing a bit of both at different times. The screening space will be set up with mats and cushions as a free flowing space.
The workshop will focus on two different printing techniques. One that uses shaving foam and another one that uses bubbles made with a straw. We have chosen short animations without dialogue to ensure the screenings are accessible to all children attending.
We also wanted to encourage all children to engage with a type of storytelling that creatively relies on other forms of communication other than verbal, such as music, gesture and sound.
GARDEN:
Large inflatable activity run.
BIG WHITE TENT:
The Together Space: Focus on Fitness
Given the likelihood of it being cold and wet, we are going to keep ourselves warm by moving our bodies! Expect a variety of inclusive fitness exercises, some structured, some more freeflow to meet the needs all ages and abilities. We'll be using the much loved Yoked Fitness equipment Emma Hits The Spot will be leading our more structured sessions with start times of 2:15pm, 3pm and 3:45pm.
3:00 - 3:30pm - Yoga with Alex! Yoga is a form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexbility and breathing to improve physical and mental wellbeing. The main components of Yoga are postures (a series of movements designed to increase strength and flexibility) and developing improved breathing patterns. Alex uses both yoga and dance to create a fun, interactive and sensory movement based experience!
