Some of the latest opportunities from Liverpool's wellbeing and creative communities.
We're posting early this time to let you know about another great opportunity from Kindred Minds.
Thursday, 26th January, 3-4pm in
Main Hall, Lee Valley Millennium Centre
Drama for Confidence workshops are supportive, safe and fun sessions where we explore some simple drama games and exercises in order to build on our confidence and self-esteem.
You will use your creativity and imagination to create simple scenes - and remember - when it comes to expressing your own unique imagination and creativity, there is no right and wrong, no judgement and no criticism. Everyone’s ideas are equally valid and supported.
Previous experience of drama work is not required
These sessions help participants to temporarily put aside the troubles of everyday life. We explore really fun drama exercises and there’s always lots of laughter! And the power of laughter helps enhance your confidence and wellbeing.
Sessions will start on
Thursday, 26th January, 3-4pm in
Main Hall, Lee Valley Millennium Centre
They will be led by Emma Bird, a local professional theatre practitioner and director
Poetry and Photo Walk - Sefton Park, Liverpool
We will walk round a planned route of Sefton Lark with stops to respond to poetry prompts and take accompanying photos.
This event will be a great uplift at the end of January for anyone, whether you’re a seasoned poet or if you’ve never written one before! Feel free to attend just to take photos and enjoy the walk and a chat. You will be given resources at the start of the walk with planned pauses and guided writing prompts, inspired by the nature and any memories you may have of the incredible Sefton Park. I am an English teacher with 13 years experience and a poet who regularly performs round Liverpool so I decided to combine these two areas of my life to create this event!
