Movement for health

People dance for all sorts of reasons. Many of us who dance believe it enriches our lives in so many different ways – ways in which we cannot always express using words, but people often use the word ‘freedom’ to describe the feeling that may emerge within us when we move.

This may be the closest definition of the purpose of these sessions. The aim is to awaken and connect the body in an informal and easy way, and to find freedom in our bodies and imaginations. The sessions will be facilitated using anatomical imagery, movement forms that support connection, fluidity, strength and coordination.

The sessions are suitable for all abilities – to those who are energetic and the ones who are restricted in their ability to move, those who have problems with pain or are recovering from an illness.

Cai Tomos is Independent Dance artist, Art Psychotherapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. He has worked both nationally and internationally as a dancer and maker. He lives in Rural Mid Wales. His practice spans from dancing and making, to facilitating arts and health work with adults both in hospitals and in theatre settings.

Cai runs an Elders Performance Company in Wales and offers workshops in the UK and abroad. He works as an artist in Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and for Entelechy Arts as an independent artist.

Improvisational practices are at the heart of Cai’s work, supporting people to develop and discover their own movement language and vocabulary.
