Introduction to body and sensory awareness

• Understand what other senses there are other than the ‘big 5’
• Know the difference between taste and flavour and more about your own sense of taste
• Have a greater understanding of the importance of the difference senses and greater empathy for those with sensory disorders and loss
• Understand crossmodalism with examples
• Understand different types of synaesthesia
• Come away having had your eyes opened to how your body works to perceive the world around you!

No other costs. If you can remember, please bring a (safe) item in an opaque bag that might evoke a strong emotion that you don’t mind handing around to others and discussing. It will be helpful to wear comfortable clothing.

You will be taught using a series of exercises and fun games to bring the senses to life in an interactive way using exercises in pairs, groups and discussion. No work outside class as a stand-alone workshop.
