How can we become an extension of it using our body and tactile materials?In this workshop, you are invited to engage your curiosity and find new ways of experiencing art and nature with a more mindful perspective.

She creates playful participatory art, sensory installations and curious performances in everyday and unusual spaces. Her art practice is like a giant collage, combining a wide range of mediums together: sculpture & found objects, collage, drawing, printmaking, sewing, photography, projection, video, poetry, spoken word, improvisation, dance & performance, meditation, sound and scents.Her interactive artworks respond and transform spaces with mindful experiences and sensory materials to alter perceptions and benefit well-being. She explores our connection with nature, the importance of play for all, art in the everyday and the psychology of making. With experience of dancing in many styles such as contemporary, salsa, swing and hula hooping, she mixes these together with performance techniques and materials to create a unique movement language (enter Kate Bush the Organised Dancer).She also facilitates workshops in sensory play, art making, mindfulness, improvisation and performance for all ages and abilities. She has also made work for community, health, outdoor, domestic, gallery and online spaces across Kent, London and Europe.https://ellyrutherford.com@elly_ruthers - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/folkestone/sensory-movement-workshop/100001992723282982 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, health-wellness, meditation, entertainment, performances, dance, fine-arts, literary-art, spoken-word - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Folkestone - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 6.13, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Folkestone - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Folkestone - **lat**: 51.0909617 - **long**: 1.197474 - **full address**: Folkestone, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Sensory Movement Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/4d82fc0a3186fa4a049a5d07b950b8921371c27388c364560eb5bb52a4a32a9c-rimg-w1200-h787-dc4e5e33-gmir.jpg?v=1782810926 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Sensory Movement Workshop being held? - **A:** Sensory Movement Workshop takes place on Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 10:30 am to Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 11:30 am at Folkestone, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Sensory Movement Workshop? - **A:** Sensory Movement Workshop is organized by Elly Rutherford. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
