Details:
Take Ten is a performance installation designed to slow us down. It’s a space to be present, in the here and now, to reflect and to notice. Audiences can take a moment on bespoke and colourful swing chairs, guided by a soundtrack that encourages them to sit comfortably, swing gently and breathe deeply.
Fluid Motion use theatre to make happy brains, and Take Ten is an artistic response, created in collaboration with Lorna Rees of Gobbledegook Theatre that is centred around the idea of mental wellbeing. It is underpinned by the ‘5 steps to mental wellbeing’, Fluid Motion’s own research with communities across Hampshire and clinical psychologists who helped to shape the audio.
Audiences are warmly welcomed by Swing Supervisors who welcome them to a colourful wooden swing chair. Embedded in each swing chair are speakers which play an audio soundscape that encourages participants to take a breath, awaken their senses and notice the world around them. The soft and instructional voices help people to reflect and to explore, to see the world differently and to be present in the moment in a way they might not have done before.
Suitable for everyone.
No booking required.
