Check out this dance workshop for those aged 6-16 with a love (present or potential) for science, maths, ballet and breakdancing. Spaces limited. Book at https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/bristol-cathedral-chapter-house/sat-4-may-diaspora-science-and-maths-dance-workshop-107100

Like science/maths/ballet/breakdancing? Aged 6-16? Join us Saturday 4th May 11-1pm at the Chapter House in Bristol Cathedral for our Diaspora! Science and Maths Dance Workshop.

We will teach you some ballet and breakdancing moves, take some quantum physics and aperiodic number theory that will blow your mind and break it down in a way that is easy to understand and irresistible to work with.

Then we will show you how to translate into dance not just the ideas but the thrill of the chase in their discovery so you can come up with some brilliantly unique choreography.

The workshop is led by a performing ballet dancer with a PhD in physics and a breakdancer.

Places are limited so nab yours now!

Tickets available at https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/bristol-cathedral-chapter-house/sat-4-may-diaspora-science-and-maths-dance-workshop-107100

Well photographer Dani Bower () will be returning next week Wed 17th - Friday 19th August and is offering a few location shoots around Bristol to dancers interested in being part of One Dance UKs Image library.

Huge shout out to Farrah Fortnam Contemporary Art who painted this beautiful mural design on Marlborough Hill Steps. A project delivered in partnership with Bristol City Centre BID in partnership with University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW).
