Dance Free!

Riseholme Park

Dance free to get out of mind and into body. Release, energise and connect to you, others and nature. You don’t have to be a ‘dancer’ to dance free. It’s for everyone. A fun, uplifting and energising experience moving freely to music in nature. Using wireless headsets (provided) for an immersive music experience. We start with a welcoming and a few guidelines on moving freely in the body. There’s then a gentle guidance for 5 minutes which helps you drop into the body and away from everyday thoughts, followed by free-movement dance to music for 40 minutes through a variety of genres from all over the world. Simply move as much or little as you like, for as long as you like, however you feel…. 

It’s a very warm, fun and welcoming space to let go and be free to dance like no-one is watching! 

For abilities and ages – all welcome! No experience necessary. 

Wear comfy (layers) clothes and shoes. For information on Dance Free: www.wedancefree.com

Getting Started – Decolonising at Lincoln 

Online ​  

12:00 – 13:00

Decolonising seems to be a new preoccupation within UK higher education today. But just what does it mean to “decolonise” a university? What are the differences and overlaps between decolonisation and equality, diversity and inclusion work? And how might decolonisation function as a whole-of-institution project? In this informal session, Simon Obendorf, from the University’s Decolonising at Lincoln Steering Group, aims to shed some light on just what we mean when we talk about decolonising, explore what this might mean for colleagues across the institution and give some ideas about how we might integrate decolonial perspectives into our work practices, policies and organisational culture. There will be lots of space here for questions, discussion and sharing of practice.
