Movement and Storytelling with Laura Weston

Through guided movement explorations, improvisational tasks, solo and group composition exercises, artists will expand their movement palette and deepen their connection to physical play and storytelling. The session will offer practical tools and inspiration for integrating movement into your artistic practice—whether you’re a performer, theatre-maker, film- maker, dancer, or multidisciplinary creator. This workshop encourages curiosity, risk-taking, and embodied exploration, supporting artists in finding new creative pathways through the language of movement.
