Other materials will be provided. We will be working in the studio and outside in the park\, so it is advisable to bring suitable shoes and waterproofs to wear/sit on if it is wet. Participants are invited to bring an object\, image or words which represent the ‘wild’ for them. \nBook early as spaces are limited to 8 participants. \nTina Cockett has a background in Laban Art of Movement\, Community Arts and Movement Psychotherapy. An experienced creative movement facilitator\, she draws on the Tampala Life Art Process and her deep connection with the land of West Sussex in her work.

North. \n‘Lifemusic’ puts the ‘hum’ back into human & connects us to time \nThe ‘Lifemusic’ method provides a safe\, participatory\, imaginative\, accessible and inclusive space for creating music which promotes our well-being. I supply the instruments but participants can also bring their own and any instrument is welcome. \nThis unique\, well-established method developed over many years was inspired by composer\, musician and writer Dr Rod Paton previously a Music Lecturer at Chichester University. It’s accessible to everyone whatever their age\, level of music training or none. \n“Everyone is musical\, there are no wrong notes and every sound has a meaning – making music is a question of trust.” \nWHAT HAPPENS IN ‘THAT SPACE’ ? \nI’ve around 60 various musical instruments which participants can choose from and use free expression\, improvisation\, listening and imagination to paint ‘sound pictures’. \nThere is satisfaction and depth in the creative process of ‘Lifemusic’ and a valuable and interesting experience to weave music\, poetry\, art and prose into a ‘sound landscape’ ! \nI’m passionate about ‘Lifemusic’ and its principles which apply to other forms of expressive art too. \n“Lifemusic is about the sound of music and people making connections” \nCert. Ed.; Associate Drama Board; Equity Member; Registered ‘Lifemusic’ Practitioner.

Almost totemic\, whether it’s finger-style acoustic guitar\, lap-steel\, or bouzouki\, Alex plays with a mastery borne of years of graft\, craft\, and of a man who seems to straddle boundaries of time. \n \nHis lyrics offer a fusion of cultural pertinence\, generated by an acute appreciation for our earth and ancestry\, and a raw gift for storytelling. His musical oeuvre is enriched by his travels and immersive living experiences\, the result is an oasis of mini ‘odysseys’ in which each song feels like it has been specially harvested for our appreciation. \n \n​Alex has been actively engaged in a number of progressive musical and initiatives\, from Billy Bragg’s ‘Jail Guitar Doors’ – supporting rehabilitation with music in young offenders institutes\, to music therapy with disabled people. He is also a founding member of the Far Flung Collective . Alex’s music has been featured on film and television\, he also composes music for film. Most recently he collaborated with Double-Bassist\, Graeme Ross on a new album: ‘Meridians & Superpowers’. Released in February 2023. \n \n​With titles bestowed upon him such as ‘the Bard of Dorset’ and ‘Hollowneck Troubadour’ (after his award winning use of the lap-steel guitar)\, Alex continues to respond to his calling as a troubadour. \n \n\n\n\nBen Jones \n \nBen Jones is a folk/indie singer-songwriter who finds inspiration in the fusion of traditional and contemporary folk music. His heartfelt lyrics and melodies reflect a deep love for storytelling. \n \n“Fast becoming a very popular performer on the south coast” – PIP Productions. \n \nBen has played venues such as Wickham Festival\, Portsmouth Bandstand\, and performs regularly at venues spanning Brighton\, Chichester and Portsmouth. \n \nAfter the release of his independently produced album titled\, ‘You Know Me’\, Ben is now working towards a second self-produced album scheduled to be released next year.
