Why We Move

Exploring movement in all its forms; physical, emotional, geographic and political. This session considers how bodies hold knowledge and communicate ideas that language alone cannot, how migration has shaped east London's creative culture, and whether practices like dance, sport or even skating are political acts as much as creative ones. 

A series of audio prompts, voice notes and recorded reflections sourced from East London practitioners working across movement-based discipline will facilitate discussions, a body map sketching activity, and a collective physical exploration of what movement means to the people in the room.

This session is facilitated by Tito Mogaji. He is the founder of Nourishment, a community and cultural agency focused on connecting underrepresented communities with arts and culture through curated experiences, campaigns and partnerships.

This event is for anyone living, working or studying in east London, aged 18+, emerging to established within the creative sector.  Booking is essential with limited spaces for on the day drop-in.

As part of the Ideas Exchange programme of interactive talks, this event will be documented through film, photography and live artist interpretation.
