Movement With Mentality Group

Hello!

We had another fantastic outreach taster session with Off The Record‘s Mentality Group yesterday. As Light Box busily prepares for opening the doors in September we are introducing our work to lots of different groups in Bristol.  Thank you Mentality group for your warm welcome and feedback.  We had a lot of fun looking at how movement, being physically active, has an impact on our happiness.

Using the movement of our bodies, some bouncy balls, paint, cardboard boxes, pistachio shells and inks we made beautiful paintings.  (see above) Remember to put your Box Drawings somewhere in your homes that you’ll regularly see them.

Use this as a reminder to make time for these fun activities that move our bodies and make us feel good!
