Dance Movement For Recovery

Lauren Dowse, a dance artist and expressive arts educator with over two decades of experience, began her career in dance and performance in the South East. She has taught creative movement classes in the region and London, including at the University of Brighton, and is a certified Tamalpa practitioner and UK associate teacher. Her background in movement-based expressive arts education and therapy has equipped her to lead the New Note Dance sessions.

The New Note Dance programme is designed to support people affected by challenging life issues such as trauma, isolation and addiction. The sessions will explore techniques that engage the body, focus the mind and open the imagination, using movement, art, creative writing and improvisation. Each session will delve into the powerful principles and themes of recovery, providing a safe and welcoming space for participants to connect with their creativity.

The programme is a collaboration between New Note, Lauren Dowse and Create Recovery Charity, and will take place at South East Dance at The Dance Space in Brighton from Friday, 6 November 2026 to Friday, 4 December 2026.

Lauren Dowse's experience and expertise in using the Tamalpa Life/Art Process make her an ideal facilitator for this programme, which aims to provide a supportive and creative environment for people in recovery.
