June’s Conversation: Managing Physical Energy in Creative Practice
This month’s Creative Circles is dedicated to dancers, physical performers, and anyone whose creative work relies on the body as a tool. Join them for an energising conversation exploring how performers can sustain their physical energy, avoid burnout, and build long-lasting, body-aware careers.
Their guest speaker Pirita Tuiskuwill share lived experience and practical approaches to managing energy levels, staying well while performing, rehearsing and listening to the body in an industry that often demands non-stop motion.
Whether you’re a freelance dancer, choreographer, physical theatre maker, or multidisciplinary performer, this session offers insights and connection with others navigating the same terrain.
Creative Circles is a free event, which is open to anyone to attend.
