Story of Feelings
with DG
4th June, 19:00 – 21:00
What is it that our feelings are trying to tell us?
In this workshop, illustrator and facilitator DG invites you to make an emotion visible – not through words, but through image and story. Using visual storytelling and the format of a storyboard or silent comic, we gently explore what lives inside us and what it might look like on the page.
Together we’ll look at the characteristics of a feeling: what visual shape it might take, how it behaves in the body, and how it has shaped our experiences and interactions.
This is a space for anyone who finds emotions hard to talk about, or who has a story they’ve wanted to share but haven’t found the words for. You don’t need to be an artist – just willing to look inward and follow where it leads.
No sign up needed – just drop by!
Pay what you can.
co-create a new premonition deck!
with Book of Premonitions
18th June, 19:00 – 21:00
Book of Premonitions is a collective of performer-artists who bring together imaginings, thoughts, and dreams of groups across the world by simply asking the question: do we make the future happen? With a focus on graphic notation (performance instructions which use images/drawings/markings) we co-create scenes and pathways with anyone who wants to explore this experimental making process with us!
Do we make the future happen? What clues are already around us? Bringing together drawing, collage, automatic writing, and soundworlds you will create premontion “cards” which can be played in any order to make musical scenes. In guided steps, we invite you to follow intuition, invite sounds, and combine these new sketches together – becoming a group of experimental composers! Our aim is to find out what messages our newly created cards will tell us. This playful and experimental workshop is welcome to anyone interested to join, no musical experience is required and if you prefer not to make sounds/music it is optional. Book of Premonitions provides everything, including a few performers! All you need to do is come along!
