It's been almost a month since our last JAM with guest artist Tilly Wheatley ✨

JAM is back this Thursday with guest artist Esmé Sensibar. We will draw from somatic practices to restore tired bodies, explore rest and care in movement and connect through play. Esmé is interested in q***r and inclusive practices, and the subversive capacity of having fun with movement!

Esmé will be leading this event alongside JAM creators Kiera Sanderson and Hari Trivedi

JAM is free but please reserve a spot here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/jam-rest-resistance-with-esme-sensibar-tickets-1986903001363?aff=ebdsoporgprofile
