Move and Be Moved
Saturday 14 January 2006 at 5:34 pm Union member Linda Chase Broda let us know of an interesting workshop she is running:
What attributes do tai chi and poetry have in common? To name a few--- form, structure, sensitivity, and a striving toward essence. The workshop will include movement sessions based on Tai Chi and Chi Kung that will allow participants to focus on their own physical process. Also, there will be some set writing exercises based on the movement sessions, some of which will be developed in pairs.
This workshop invites you to move and be moved. The aim is to explore writing potential in ways which concentrate the mind and body and deepen awareness of images, thoughts and feelings. Movement and life are inseparable. Conscious movement can fuel expression in surprising ways.
You may be a poet, an experienced tai chi player, or indeed a novice in both these arts- whichever, you are welcome. Please wear loose comfortable clothes and bring soft slippers if you prefer not to work in bare feet.
venue: Village Hall, behind the house at 163 Palatine Road, Didsbury, Manchester
day and time: Saturday 11.30 to 5.30
dates: 18 March
fee: £56 (£37 concession) (fee includes lunch)

Friday 06 January 2006 at 1:54 pm Union Instructor Matthew Rochford tell us of this new course:Overview
The main intention behind this course is to give experienced Tai Chi and Qi Gong students an opportunity to deepen in their understanding. The course will help develop understanding of these arts through group tuition and discussion alongside a programme of presentations and workshops given by experienced and qualified practitioners and teachers.
Whilst the curriculum is meant to give a good basic understanding, the emphasis will be on learning that is interesting, enjoyable and creative. Course leaders will be aiming to promote a non competitive learning environment.
