Event Info

Groovin Well workshops are led by and for people aged 50+, no experience needed. All shapes, sizes and levels of mobility welcome. Sessions will build from simple getting-to-know-you activities through to making a short choreography from participants’ own stories and movements.

These are relaxed and sociable gatherings bringing people together to loosen up, let go and have a laugh. The sessions are about having fun, loosening up and letting go, celebrating the good stuff of life.

There’s also an optional opportunity to perform in our new show Golden Slumbers at bOing! Festival, Canterbury at the end of the programme – no obligation to take part in the performance to join the workshops.

Fridays, 18 July – 22 August
