Such a JOY to be part of this very special event. Huge thanks to the organisers for having us, and congratulations to everyone involved ❤️

Over the past two months our Performance Company has been exploring Contact Improvisation, a practice built on shared weight, touch, and listening.

Each week the exploration has unfolded with sensitivity, care, and trust, and it's grown into a beautiful work in progress that we've been lucky enough to perform at Shaw Park and Overgate Hospice so far.

This week we went further: exploring 'under, over, around, through', 'exploding' outward and finding each other again, and simply walking together. Huge thanks to our wonderful dance artist Sharon Cameron for her support with this.

The company is continuing to develop the work, and we hope to share it at a Curious Motion event in September (watch this space!).

There's something powerful in this kind of shared movement - a feeling of togetherness, belonging, and freedom, in a world that often tries to divide us.

If you'd like our Performance Company to share their work with your group or organisation, or fancy joining the company yourself (accessible, open to all adults, no experience needed), drop us a message or email [email protected]

Thank you to Overgate Hospice for inviting our Performance Company to share their latest work in progress with Day Hospice patients and staff this week.

What a treat to have everyone joining in and dancing with us too - thank you!

Our Performance Company is currently exploring connection and togetherness through contact improvisation, rhythm, and cultural influences reflecting their backgrounds. We look forward to continuing to develop the work and sharing it with our community again soon✨

🌊 Introducing Flow Together

We're delighted to announce Flow Together - a new project from Curious Motion bringing together people seeking sanctuary and local volunteers to build friendship, connection and compassion through movement and time spent in nature.

Through gentle walks, sensory experiences, and dance along the riverside, canal and in parks, participants will explore themes of water, light and connection - moving and creating together, while building a deeper connection to the natural spaces around them.

At its heart, Flow Together is about people and place: creating relaxed, caring spaces in nature where those who might not otherwise meet can spend time together, be truly present with one another and their surroundings, and build meaningful, lasting connections to each other, and to the natural world around them.

We are pleased to be sharing this during Refugee Week - the world’s largest arts and culture festival celebrating the contributions, creativity and resilience of refugees and people seeking sanctuary 🧡

Our project was made possible thanks to players. Thank you The National Lottery Community Fund

If you'd like to register your interest in coming along to a session or volunteering get in touch, we'd love to hear from you!

Slow down. Notice the seasons. Walk together 🌿

Our next Wellbeing Walk is this Thursday — a gentle stroll along the canal in Elland, with spring air, easy company, and coffee waiting at the end.

🚶 10–11am - walk along the canal and back
☕ 11–11.30am - coffee and a chat at Project C**t

Pay as you feel.

Our Wellbeing Walks happen on the first Thursday of every month. They're designed for anyone looking for something short, gentle, and unpressured — each one includes a simple creative focus (think easy photography or quiet reflection prompts), followed by coffee and conversation.

Drop us a message or email [email protected] if you'd like to come along — we love to know to expect you 💛

Happy International Dance Day! 💃🕺

We've seen dance do quiet, remarkable things.

We've seen it draw two strangers into conversation who've lived in the same town for years but never connected. We've seen it give someone the confidence to walk taller, literally and figuratively. We've seen it give voice to people whose stories rarely get told. We've seen it turn a Tuesday morning in a community hall into something people look forward to all week.

Dance, done with care, builds connection. It eases isolation. It reminds people - gently, through the body - that they belong.

That's what drives everything we do at Curious Motion. Today feels like a good day to say so.

If you'd like to move with us - or bring what we do into your organisation - you can find us at curiousmotion.org.uk 🌿
