Meath Move: Open Practice

Dates: Wed 15 Jan, 12 Feb, 19 Mar & 16 Apr 2025

Time: 11am - 2pm 

Dance artist Selma Daniel invites artists of all disciplines who are interested in movement. Open Practice is a series of improvised movement sessions, followed by instant composition play, designed to bring a sense of inspiration to artists across all art forms, as well as growing greater connections and networks among Meath based artists and beyond.

The sessions, co-facilitated by Selma Daniel and a guest Dance Artist, are 3 hours long and are designed to provide a space for exploration and creativity, where artists can develop their skills, connect with others, and share their reflections.
