Time to Connect
Below is our celebratory film for our Time to Connect programme in partnership with Reading Place of Culture. Across June 2020, Reside Dance C.I.C. delivered 10 workshops to 13 participants and reached countless audience members on social media.
Time to Connect was a fun, free online movement programme for families and households that met the NHS’ 5 Steps to Mental Wellbeing. It strengthened relationships, raised self-esteem, boosted confidence through learning new skills and offered participants the opportunity to give creatively to others and practice mindfulness. Workshops in 5Rhythms, Dance Improvisation and Release-based Movement led onto fun, weekly filming tasks that saw families and households creations shared online and edited together for the celebratory film below.
