'Paper Portraits'

In our Dance and Theatre sessions we have now started a new line of work with 'Paper Portraits'.
Guest artist Florence Peake introduced us to the combining of movement and art using large bare sheets of paper and pens to create our 'portraits' of movement.
We each had a turn at moving across the paper, doing whatever movement came naturally. The others in the group would illustrate the movement on the paper around the mover through lines, swirls, dots, scribbles and so on. This was a facinating and very enjoyable exercise which created amazing and intimate pieces of art work.
We were then able to use these illustrations as scores to create new movement phrases.
