Celebratory Art & Dance Project Progresses at Aurora

We're enjoying seeing outcomes of the "Celebration of Dance and Art project" at Bangor Aurora.

Boom Studios is delivering art sessions in partnership with Northern Community Leisure Trust (NCLT)'s dance programme, with the aim of improving wellbeing and confidence of expression in over-55s through both physical movement and the social and creative activity.

With a few weeks still to go, the group will culminate in a collaborative artwork that will be exhibited at the Aurora, and subsequently at Boom Studios (exhibition details TBC).

Boom artist Les Sharpe leads the art sessions, with Aurora staff leading the dance elements. With themes such as "movement & social connection" and "physical movement & flow" under their belt, we look forward to the upcoming weeks including Movement & Coordination, Choreography & Health and Collaborative Dance, and the associated development of artistic style coming together.

Some of the work coming out of the sessions so far:
