Commissioned by Impelo, this work is the result of a six-week, participant-led programme using movement and self-expression to explore Cynefin — a sense of place and belonging.

The programme took place across four schools in Powys, Wales with pupils aged 3–13. Each school engaged in six weekly dance sessions, where participants explored the theme through movement while recording their gestures through drawing.

These drawing exercises were inspired by Kandinsky’s concept of seeing and drawing sound, encouraging pupils to translate physical movement into visual form.

Using digital collage, the documentation from the sessions was then compiled to produce a riso printed zine and poster.
