www.fallenangelsdt.org

A day which is all about you moving for yourself and enjoying movement for YOU! Paul has worked with WWTP and Rubicon since 2017 and is a really popular artist to the programme. He works in a Contemporary dance style and through improvisation. He is a very experienced leader who works in the north of England with people in recovery from drug and alcohol addictions and has also led dance sessions in prisons. His work is so transferable to a wide range of groups that you might work with. I know that many Wales based practitioners have worked with Paul through WWTP (and beyond) and people have asked for him again and again! Having spoken with several practitioners before Christmas we all feel that Paul Kitcher is perfect to celebrate ten years of WWTP and also a first WWTP CPD day since February 2020!!!

PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU SIGN UP FOR BOTH SENSING WELSH AND FALLEN ANGELS DANCE THEATRE WORKSHOPS THEN THE TOTAL COST IS £30.
