The Place (London, WC1 9PH)
Great news! We continue in Studio 9 at The Place (theplace.org.uk) Thursday evenings from 9 April until the end of May (minus 17 May). Summer programme TBA. Sessions from 6.45-7.45pm but you’re welcome to arrive from 6.30pm to warm up.
Improvised movement and creative, non-choreographed dance for Creative Arts Therapists, Psychotherapists, Counsellors and Coaches. Facilitated by Dance Movement Psychotherapists Jacqueline Butler and Constance Novis.
For practitioners who already work with body movement or practitioners who are curious about how the body speaks, including their own, in sessions and in daily life. This will be a place to explore what is mine that wants to be processed. What has been left behind by my client that needs releasing? Music provides a creative backdrop, but this space is for you to Reflect, Release, Resource and Re-Energise.
Bring writing materials for capturing your thoughts and reflections if you like, as well as water and clothing comfortable to move in. Changing rooms are available. (Street shoes are not to be worn in the studio.)
To book a place and for further information, please contact Constance
at: humanbeinghumanmoving.com or Jackie at bodyofchange@live.co.uk
First session free. Thereafter £15.00 per session.

What others have said about Constance
‘Attendance by our service users has been regular and consistent. They have fed back to me the significant improvement in their recovery journey and mental well-being’.
Manager MIND Well-Being Hub
‘I was full of energy after each session. The sessions also helped my mental health’.
MIND service user, group participant
‘You made a great contribution to my overall recovery and re-integration with my body’.
MIND service user, one-to-one participant
‘ … the members absolutely loved your sessions and were raving about them afterwards so thank you again’.
Project Manager, Creative Arts Therapy for Young Adults with Learning Disabilities
‘I have seen Constance build safe, warm and encouraging environments for our students to be able to express themselves without fear of ridicule or judgement. This is quite an achievement as many of our students have experienced years of very public educational failure and can avoid situations where the chance of failure is seen as a real possibility’.
Headteacher, Special Needs Community College
‘I found Constance’s suggestion of ”Listen to your Body” really interesting and it has returned to me several times since. Wise words and I am sure ones that promote good physical and mental health. This combined with her relaxed and accommodating manner made her talk memorable to young and old!’
