‘Su mano amiga‘ means ‘your helping hand’ in Spanish. This name comes from the local charity that founded these workshops with Siobhan Davies Studios in 2021.
Women’s* Workshop
Survivor-led movement and dance workshops offering an invitation to move, breath, stretch, and create. Led by expert Latinx dance artist facilitators.
Offering a relaxed environment and centring the needs of participants, these sessions hold space for dance, movement as relational practices for co-regulation and self-care.
* Inclusive of transwomen, non-binary and gender non-conforming people.
Children’s Workshop
These workshops offer a space for children to take part in their own enriching and engaging session whilst their parents and career-givers are in the Women’s Workshop.
We will foreground creativity, curiosity and confident joyous movement, through:
- Discovery: exploring how we express ourselves and communicate with movement, choreography and dance.
- Awareness and Sensitivity: practicing coordination, collaboration and reflection with others.
- Culture and Identity: learning and exploring through Latin dances, stories and music.
- Sharing: learning together and developing skills in both watching and performing

These workshop are free to attend and travel costs are supported.

All Su Mano Amiga sessions are facilitated in Spanish and English, for and centring the local Latinx community.
