Bare Toed NEWS AND OPPORTUNITIES!
For other more regular updates join us on facebook..

Bare Toed are flowing with the current circumstances and as always, are looking for opportunities to play, collaborate and develop. Here are some updates!

Rachel has been funded to research for a PHD, looking into attitudes towards embodied learning in primary schools. What might be different if we placed bodies as central to pedagogy? She will be seeking collaborators and questionnaire responders.

2021…

We have a few little seeds planted for 2021 which we are hoping will grow throughout the year! We continue with our conversations and connections with Schools, Heritage, Arts organisations, students and collaborators. Our fingers are crossed for our regular appearance at The Mouth of The Tyne Festival. We are exploring avenues to share and develop our beautiful Above and Beyond film and developing aerial work and play.

Initial links with County Durham Sport creates a possibility to become collaborators in their research-informed Active Durham Partnership. Watch this space!
