Join artist-researcher Kate Marsh for a practical session exploring what the body remembers, what we want to leave behind, and what we want to take forward. During the night, you'll have access to all the nooks and crannies of the building, to dance, rest, and explore. We'll use improvisation and play to discover what's possible when we have permission to fail.
This will be followed by a quick sharing over nibbles and refreshments. No prior experience needed. We'll all arrive from our own place and pace, privileging all experiences and ways of being in a playful, accessible and generative environment.
This session is part of What's Possible When Things Go Wrong, a series of celebrations, sharings, and dinners to mark our final moments in the building and to explore what is possible when the sh*t hits the fan.

What's Possible When Things Go Wrong
Metal and the other organisations based at Chauffeurs Cottage will be leaving in December. It wasn't our decision and it's one we're still trying to get our heads around, but we're working hard to find a new space in the city that will be just as wonderful, whilst celebrating all the magical moments we've spent here.
Being thrown into this situation has made us reflect on 'necessity as a mother of invention' – being faced with a challenging situation and being inspired to create a new imaginative solution. It's made us dream about inspiring futures and what a queer, accessible, anti-racist space would look like from scratch.
