Early Years CDP with Sonrisa Arts Workshop + Winter Network Meeting

Join professional musician/composer, Anthony Kimber-McTiffen and dancer/musician/director, Kath Kimber-McTiffen from Sonrisa Arts for a practical CPD workshop which will share and explore Sonrisa Arts’ co-creation process with Early Years children and families.

The workshop will centre around the creation of immersive dance and music performance, Dance in the Dark, for ages 3+ and families and their co-creation process in the community and schools, using dance, movement and music to explore the concept of ‘the dark’.

We will explore facilitating a child-led approach, co-creating performances, using props and thematic ideas as creative stimulus and using live and recorded music.

Suitable for anyone who is currently working in Early Years/KS1 settings or who is interested in working in these settings and wants to develop practical child-led creative approaches using movement/dance and music.

The workshop will be largely practical, with time included for discussion and reflection. Please dress comfortably for movement. The workshop is suitable for Early Years artists, practitioners and teachers.

“If only every Monday could start by attending a Sonrisa Arts workshop to awaken the playfulness within us!” – CPD workshop participant

“This has brought more tools to my creative practice, helped me find more emphasis on how I approach certain creations” – CPD workshop participant

    The Seagull Theatre’s access information page

    Updated access information

    The Seagull is wheelchair accessible in studio 4 (the down stairs studio) the theatre, workhshop and backstage areas. All of this is flat level access, including through to the accessible loo.
    The upper floor can be accessed via the lift which provides direct access to studio 2. Access to studio 1 and Studio 3 is also possible without further steps, but doorways are relatively narrow.
    Sadly the access to the green room and the two upstairs toilets is still via further stairs so we recommend that people use the lift to access the downstairs accessible toilet instead.
