We are very pleased to announce this year’s programme!
2023 marks a 5-year milestone and so we are taking this opportunity to reflect on where Kinship Workshop has been and what it has done; we’re thinking on how Kinship can make more impact…

As such we will be taking some time in residency as part of Cultural Reforesting ‘…a series of artist-led, multi-disciplinary projects set in the context of the ecological crises of our time’ -at Orleans House Gallery next to Richmond Park in London. During May, June and September we will gather and work with colleagues and collaborators to review, revise and re-imagine how Kinship Workshop operates. Contributors to this process include dance artist Holly Thomas, group facilitator and psychotherapist Chand Starin Basi, facilitator and doula Poh-Eng San, dance artist-researcher Natifah White, and 2023 placements dance artists Becky Horne and Sophie Holland.

2023 will be a smaller programme than usual, but will include some residency activities in Richmond throughout the season.

A couple of new additions to the programme will be a Kinship Fireside evening as part of the residency in Richmond, and a more informal nomadic period in coastal landscapes over the Summer that brings together ancestral skills practices including foraging and fishing in relation to nature connection/ Kinship work. More information on both of those to follow in due course.
