LED BY AOIFE MCATAMNEY & POLLY ROWLEY-SAMS
AN OUTDOOR WORKSHOP SERIES IN THE HEART OF DUBLIN CITY
31 AUGUST – 21 SEPTEMBER
Join Broadreach for a very special workshop series as we take things outside and into nature in the city centre hub of St Stephen’s Green. Meet us under the bandstand as Aoife McAtamney and Polly Rowley-Sams inject some creativity and movement into our Wednesday lunchtimes and see us gathering outdoors to soak up some September sunshine and find new ways of moving together!
This creative dance series is designed to deepen our relationship to our bodies and environment. Wise Oaks blends anatomy and science playfully, so you have the knowledge you need to create meaningful relationships with yourself, others and the natural world.
The series is open to adults aged 18+ who enjoy dancing.
