Spreading Wings
Take part in weekly workshops with people from across Cheshire West and Chester in movement and co-develop new productions (for live & digital performance)
Community performances take place across Cheshire West and Leigh, Greater Manchester,
We can offer taster sessions with local partners.
Supporting Angels Development will take place over 2 years: with Mentoring, developing choreography/workshop facilitation skills; ambassadorial and peer support – in line with each volunteer’s individual goals and career ambitions including volunteering opportunities with FADT.
We explore recovery from addiction and adversity through movement. Workshops and projects are led by professional dance artists from Fallen Angels Dance Theatre through the Artistic Direction of Paul Bayes Kitcher – himself in recovery from addiction, with over 30 years professional experience in dance.
You can expect a high-quality experience including:
- physical warm-up
- exploration of our stories through creative movement
- cool down and stretches
- fun and laughter
The emphasis is on the group experience and achieving something special together. Some of our projects lead to performances when members of the group are ready and feel confident. There will also be opportunities for social activities as a group such as going to the Theatre, and recovery/community events
