Exploring communication through movement, sound and gesture with very young children
Are you an artist working or wanting to work with 0-5 year olds?
Are you an early years setting wanting to develop your creative practice?
Do you work in a cultural organisation that wants to cultivate or share its early years offer?
We are very pleased to invite all those with an interest in this area, and the unique qualities that performance/sound/movement arts can contribute to early years pedagogy, to attend an inspiring and practical workshop.

More-than-words is an innovative doctoral research collaboration between Curious Minds, Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and Martenscroft Nursery School and Children's Centres.
The research is exploring how 2 year-olds make sense through their relationships with the world. It asks what happens when adults don’t talk and instead pay more attention to gesture, expression, voice-play, movement and play.
In this workshop, doctoral researcher and early years artist, Charlotte Arculus, together with dancer, Anna Daly, and practitioners from Martenscroft Nursery School will present artist and educator perspectives from the More-than-words project. They will explore and share some of the simple, talk free and open-ended approaches and materials that have been used throughout the research.
There will also be time to reflect, discuss and deepen connections, and to explore the possibility of establishing an early years arts network in the region.
