This class will take inspiration from the Ashtanga primary series, incorporating asana (postures) to build both strength and flexibility. You will be guided through breathing exercises followed by sun salutations and sections of the Ashtanga Vinyasa Primary series. Aimée will bring along some journal prompts which will support you to reflect on anything that came up for you in the Yoga practice. Journaling is optional, you can just use this time to sit and reflect or have a tea and a natter with the wonderful people you will be sharing space with.Grace has put together a nourishing menu filled with seasonal ingredients. This picnic style meal will be self service style and you can sit on tables or blankets and cushions around the room - whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Suitable for beginners or to support those with an established practice.

Are you ready to experience a weekend like no other? Immerse yourself in the vibrancy and depth of West African and African Diaspora cultures over a jam-packed weekend of:
Here you will be taken across the world and through the ages - from the world of shapes, sums and mathematical abstraction to the lab with experiments and simulations of quasicrystals - to feast your eyes, ears and mind on beautiful ideas using ballet, breakdancing and the pretty fractal patterns of Hofstadter's butterfly. Think Misty Copeland meets Beat Street, Penrose, graphene and gorgeous ancient middle eastern tiling.
There will also be a workshop before the performance (5:45-6:45) for those who would like to try a ballet and breakdancing approach to maths and physics for themselves – all ages and levels of expertise welcome. Attendance of the performance and participation in the workshop is free but sign up is recommended.

The sessions involve movement and group games. Wear something you can move in and bring a water bottle. Take it at your own pace. Resting when needed is encouraged.
About Spilt Ink Theatre
Spilt Ink Theatre is a company formed by three female theatre-makers who met in Paris whilst training at Lecoq and Gaulier. They use play, physical theatre, puppetry and clown to create accessible theatre that inspires and moves a wide range of audiences; from young to old, where English may not be a first language and to those who might be new to participating in theatre. Their core intention is to make playful and visual work that is engaging and relevant, inspired by the voices of local people, and our own identities as artists.

SESSION ONE with Toby Hulse
Toby Hulse is a Bristol-based playwright and theatre director, specialising in work for family audiences and in educational contexts. He is particularly interested in the impossible and the daft.
This workshop will develop ideas and practices formed during the making of his show Luna, about how to find the theatrical stories in scientific and mathematical material. It imagines that we are in the early stages of devising a show called A Play About Nothing.
Participants are asked to bring material about the concept of zero, the less theatrically promising the better...
Each session will be led by a different local theatre maker. Places are limited so book in advance.
This is presented by the Wardrobe Theatre in association with Trinity.
