Spaghetti Club: Lucid Dancing (Ages 5 - 9)
Taking Tai Shani’s sleeping dreamer as a jumping off point, this dance workshop will explore the movement in dreams braided within dreams.

| Dates | Thu 28 Aug 2025 |
| Times | 11am-12.30pm |
| Space | West Wing |

What are the limits of imaginary movement? What fast crumbling rules apply to dreams? Who’s snoring on that lily-pad dancefloor? The workshop will introduce children to the concept of lucid dreaming as a springboard to unlock new dance moves.
Through a series of experimental, playful dance exercises, the group will explore how slowness in dreams and dream time can be measured via movement.
No previous dance or specific dream experience is required.
