Got to Move, Movement of Joints

Create your own puppet and learn how to move like one! Moving Arts will be presenting Movement of Joints (Parent and Child) at Toa Payoh’s SAFRA Dance Studio this coming October! In this Art and Movement program, participants are exposed to the traditional puppet making and the popular culture of hip-hop dance. Both forms express interest in the variables of movement within the working body (human or puppet) and their respective creation. A great way for parents and children aged 7–12 years old to bond and have lots of fun crafting and dancing together. Mark your calendar and let’s celebrate dance with islandwide activities this month.

‘pARTicipate’ is a community movement project, which aims to assemble a proposed neighbourhood to take part in simple expressive games suitable for families and members of the society. It realises the genuine essence of their participation and strives to encourage families to see the importance of family time and the connection for kinship in a community. The activities will engage children, adults and senior citizens and families are strongly encouraged to participate together.

Tea Dances for Shakespeare

7 to 9 October 2016, Timing TBC (each session lasts 30 minutes)
Westgate Shopping Mall

Tea Dances for Shakespeare offers poetic gestural movement motifs inspired by sonnets. Participants are given easy to learn whimsical and poetic hand gestures and upper torso movements while sitting pretty on designer chairs. This short learning session would lead right into an on-the-spot public performance. A quartet will play Baroque music to transport participants from the mundane every day into the magical realm of antiquity where dancing is practiced as common as social greetings.
