Natural Behaviour – Queer Birders Workshops

Queer dance theatre company Thick & Tight are linking up with Queer Birders Norfolk in the research of their new show Natural Behaviour, which will explore how diversity and queerness is essential to life. Participants will share their experiences which will feed into the shows creation but won’t be performers in the show.

Join the Queer Birders and Thick & Tight for a birdwatching afternoon around Whitlingham Lake and a movement workshop lead by Thick & Tight the following day.

Saturday 25 January, 12noon – 3pm – Whitlingham Country Park
Queer Birders have invited Thick & Tight to a field trip to Whitlingham Lake for a day out birding where they expect to see waterfowl and forest birds. This will be an opportunity to meet others with similar interests and spend some time outdoors enjoying nature.

Sunday 26 January, 1.30pm – 5pm – The Garage
The following day Thick & Tight have invited Queer Birders to take part in a free workshop to explore the themes through movement, creative expression and discussion.
We know that not everyone feels comfortable with movement or dance. We would hate this to put people off attending, so there will be alternative ways for people to engage if they don’t want to move!

On May the 3rd and 4th there will be a follow up field trip and workshop, where Thick & Tight will be joined by dance artist and disability advocate Annie Edwards, who will be performing in Natural Behaviour.

We hope that participants will be able to attend both walks and workshops in January and May, but we ask that participants attend at least one walk and the following workshop.

By booking below you will have a space on the walk on Sat 25th and workshop on Sun 26th.
