Imagination Land: Creature World Play

$163.00

Imagination Land is a playful movement-based workshop where children step into a world of make-believe creatures and friendly monsters.

Participants are invited to imagine, design, and embody their own characters. Building a landscape of monsters we creatively imagine what it’s like to move our bodies as a different creature. Through guided movement activities, participants explore how their creatures might move—heavy, light, fast, slow, stretchy, squishy—experimenting with size, shape, texture, and rhythm in their bodies.

Children are encouraged to interact with each other in character, building small encounters, stories, and group worlds through playful improvisation. The focus is on creativity, collaboration, and joyful physical expression. Here, imagination leads the way rather than fixed steps or performance outcomes.

The workshop supports a range of abilities and ways of moving, inviting each participant to engage at their own pace while contributing to the collective world of friendly monsters and imaginative play.

COURSE TUTOR

Jess Lemire

Hi, I’m Jess. I’m a mural artist and clay maker with a PhD in dance.

My work explores the ways that nature invites us to move our bodies, and how we can creatively respond to the world around us through movement and imagination. I design and facilitate playful, participatory workshops that invite people into states of curiosity, embodied storytelling, and creative exploration.

I’m also a professional daydreamer, using play to create art, research, and facilitating connection.
