LED BY AOIFE MCATAMNEY & POLLY ROWLEY-SAMS
AN OUTDOOR WORKSHOP SERIES IN THE HEART OF DUBLIN CITY
31 AUGUST – 21 SEPTEMBER
A very special workshop series where we took things outside and into nature in the city centre hub of St Stephen’s Green. Meeting under the bandstand, Aoife McAtamney and Polly Rowley-Sams injected some creativity and movement into our Wednesday lunchtimes and saw us gathering outdoors to soak up some September sunshine and finding new ways of moving together!
This creative dance series was designed to deepen our relationship to our bodies and environment. Wise Oaks blended anatomy and science playfully, so participants had the knowledge they needed to create meaningful relationships with themselves, others and the natural world.
The series was open to adults aged 18+ who enjoy dancing.
