You’re all welcome to join Kirstie Simson for a gentle movement session with no previous dance and movement experience required. This guided session, open to all, will be led by Kirstie and allow participants to explore their bodies through gentle movement and positive exploration.
There is no pressure on participants to move beyond their means or perform to others, but participants are invited to contribute at their own level, energy and ability.

This session is offered as a part of Dance North AIM activity. Arts in Moray (AIM) Collective is a dynamic union of creative partner organisations; Dance North, Moray Arts Development Engagement (M:ADE), the Moray Way Association, and Wildbird. All partners working hand in hand with local and international artists to offer creative opportunities to the vibrant communities of Moray and beyond. Now into its third and final phase of funding, AIM partners offer residencies to artists to offer exciting creative opportunities for them to express their unique art forms, practices, and innovative approaches to engage our local communities, spaces, and places. The goal, offer creative opportunities to Moray communities, engage different generations and inspire them to develop themselves artistically, as well as support personal growth.

Birthed from Rise Festival 2024, Dance North worked with international artists Lovisa Gunnarsdottir and Kirstie Simson to explore what it means “being well”. 
Dance North through AIM have developed that thread into a monthly creative program, focusing on offering women across Moray safe spaces to discuss, move, support and explore what that means to them.
