Intergenerational Dance with Paint

Unleash your creativity through music and art at Dance with Paint, an exciting and unique school holiday workshop exploring the magic of both the visual and performing arts.

This 90 minute workshop will begin with a brief history of abstract expressionism and impressionist art, focusing on individuality and the different personal opinions about visual art.

You will then supercharge your imagination by listening to different styles of image rich, emotionally charged music before describing the emotions that the music stirs and how you might paint these through colours and shapes.

Our facilitator, professional opera singer and arts facilitator Ben Segal, will then guide all participants to create a 3D personalised artwork through different mediums and styles inspired by the moods of the different musical styles.

This all-inclusive, friendly, and social workshop combines art, music, health, and well-being and is suitable for all ages and abilities. We encourage people of all ages to come along and join in – this is a great activity for grandparents and grandkids to spend time together.

All materials are provided and participants will be able to take home their completed artworks.

This workshop is suitable for approximate ages 5 and up. Please contact us if you’re unsure about suitability.

Duration: Approx. 1.5 hours

Bring: Yourself and a water bottle, and wear comfortable clothing that is ok to get a bit messy!
