Stimprovisation Workshop
A playful stimming improvisation workshop with Dr Aby Watson for LGBTQ+ people (16+), exploring sensory objects in a relaxed space.
A Stimprovisation (sense and movement) workshop for LGBTQ+ people (16+) in Glasgow Join us for a Stimprovisation workshop with Dr Aby Watson. Stimprovisation is stimming improvisation, a playful practice of sensory-seeking instant composition. Discovered and coined during Dr Aby Watson's artistic research and developed for neurodivergent people, stimprovisation is about 'unmasking' and feeling freer.
In a Relaxed environment, neuroqueer choreographer Aby Watson will gently lead us through ways of stimprovising: Movement (Stimdance) Objects (Stimplements) Voice (Sensinging) For this workshop with LGBT Health and Wellbeing, we'll focus on Stimplements: exploring sensory experiencing through objects. This workshop offers a practical introduction to stimprovising. You do not need performance experience to join us, only a willingness to play and explore!
Come wearing clothes suitable for movement. All are welcome – you do not have to identify as neurodivergent to join. Access Notes: This workshop takes place in a Relaxed environment.
This means: Movement, sounding, stimming is all welcome throughout You can leave and return as much as you like There is a separate Quiet space to the main workshop space Everything is an invitation, not a demand An understanding that focus/attention looks different for different people Light and sound are considered for sensory sensitivity There will be breaks Stimplements (stimming objects) will be available Ear plugs will be available
