I will lead a somatic zine making process focusing on how to think about dance and movement in the design and making of a zine.

It will begin with a tapping meditation (it’s not scary, it’s nice and soothing) and some free writing/drawing to shed the stress that we enter the space with/think about our own movements.

We will then look at some examples of dance and movement in art/photography to expand beyond what we know it to be.

Using stamps, participants will somatically (this just means relating/using the body) decorate a section of their zine, thinking about how rhythm can influence visuals.

They will then have a chance to collage/write/draw/doodle the other sections of the zine thinking about music, rhythm and how we can use dance and movement to expand on our capacity to feel.

There will be a chance at the end to look at what each other has done and have an informal discussion/wrap up.
