Wanna Dance? Creative Jams are creative spaces where people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) can come together with dancers and live musicians to explore improvised movement and music.
These group sessions focus on following the interests of the participants and are largely non-verbal. Unique movement, sound and relationships can emerge from each different session, sometimes sensitive, subtle, quiet and small, and at other times wild, energetic, loud and expansive, and everything in-between!
Carers are encouraged to actively participate in the sessions.
We welcome new participants to these Creative Jams and would be happy to chat through individual needs and preferences – contact jane.mclean@cheshiredance.org if you’d like to find out more.
