Moving, Grooving Pictures
With Emily, Karen from Mesh Dance and Jodie, we’ll be inspired by the bold shapes of Picasso and the energetic, colourful artwork of Nnena Kalu. We’ll combine music and movement to create our own art work. There’s no right or wrong way to join in. Just bring your energy, ideas, and a sense of adventure! The canvas room will be open for you to chill out in, to create your own gentle art through our sensory props.
