Wild Nature
5 days of 5Rhythms Waves
​with Alex Mackay and Liz Collier
June 26-30
Newport, Pembrokeshire

Dance with a focus on the elements, our wild nature and our connection to the natural world - stormy or slow changing, delicate or blazing.. finding affinity and creative possibility in the truth of our own energy. Our footsteps will lead us in and out of connection with others and with landscape and music.
We are lucky to have coast, river, woods, mountain and sea at our disposal. 
We dance in a spacious hall with a great floor as well as outside. There will be live music from Joe Caswell for some of our sessions. 

Newport, Pembrokeshire is a beautiful place with plenty of campsites, B&Bs, and other accommodation if you are travelling to dance with us. This is a non-residential workshop, but we can help you find a place to stay and possibly others to stay or travel with.
The nearest station is Fishguard.

£275/225

The price includes a meal cooked for us at the hall on Saturday night.
