SPOTLIGHT ON WORKSHOP LEADER : LIESL TOWNSEND - SATURDAY 12 SEPTEMBER
Creating Space for All
What if we stopped seeing limitations and started seeing potential?
Meet Liesl Townsend from South Africa
Liesl is the Joint International Coordinator of ICDF and has been involved in Christian dance leadership since 1981. With a background in Social Work and Coaching, she founded the ❤️UTHANDO programme, using music and movement to encourage healing and emotional expression.
Her passion is creating inclusive dance communities where everyone is welcome.
In this practical workshop, discover how to:
• Adapt movement and choreography for different abilities
• Include dancers of different ages and experience levels
• Build confidence and a sense of belonging
• Work creatively with physical limitations
• Focus on what dancers CAN do
• Create spaces where everyone can move, worship and participate
Whether you’re starting a dance group or making an existing group more inclusive, come and rethink what a dance group can be!
Everyone deserves a place to move, create, worship and belong.
