High Rise Movement
A brilliant and fun session, set to music, High Rise Movement is a gentle choreography that focuses on engagement through touch, massage and props.
The sessions work by stimulating movement and senses. We achieve this in a variety of ways, often using a theme.
Gallery with ID 2 doesn't exist.We explore methods such as sensory touch; hand massage using oils and lotions; mirroring; contact dance; finger dancing and clapping. We use rhythm in the form of poetry with actions; songs welcoming members into the group; music; percussion to facilitate atmosphere and to awaken other senses. Props with different textures are employed to give a tactile experience, such as bubbles; ribbon sticks; feathers; scarves with scented oils; massage balls; sponge balls and weighted bean bags.
Massage is used to great effect: patting with different hand and finger shapes; stroking with different textures and using airflow with fans and scarves.
The groups meet in a large hall, allowing plenty of space to move and explore.
Above all, High Rise Movement is an experience that contributes massively to emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing.
