'In Amongst the Trees'
Schools workshops
‘In Amongst the Trees’ for schools, was a dance, music and storytelling project designed to give 90 Year 1 school children the opportunity to take part in a high quality arts experience, in a relaxed creative and natural environment, supporting both their physical and mental health.
Sessions included dance, live music, nature themed creative activities and storytelling, and were co-delivered by a dance artist and a musician/ storyteller.
We aimed to create both an immersive and therapeutic experience by combining creative activities, whilst allowing children to experience the joy of nature, and further support everyday learning.
​
We are delivered an initial 12 workshops in May 2024 funded by Northampton Community Foundation.
