• Sunday, 21 April 2024
• 19:00 21:30

A multi-sensory night of storytelling in the gorgeous dream-space of the traditional wood-fired sauna.

It’s a space to remember the power of your imagination and sink into an old tale, spun by expert storyteller Oliver Wallace. The story weaves through four sauna sessions, using steam, scent and heat to open our imaginations and draw us into the tale’s mysteries.

In April we will hear the story of the weirdly wise Fool of the World. It’s a story to open our hearts and prepare us for the more active season that is blooming all around us.

Expect to emerge feeling creatively empowered and full of the dreamy sensations of the story. We are tapping into the deeply human pleasure of gathering in the warm to hear the old tales.

There are just 12 places each month, so if you feel called to join then don’t hesitate.

QUEER TALES FOR QUEER FOLKS

• Friday, 26 April 2024
• 18:30 20:00

Join Ariel Goodbody in the sauna for an evening of sweat, relaxation and co-created storytelling. Taking inspiration from our own lives, as well as the collective consciousness of fairy tales and myths, we will weave together uplifting, hilarious and heartbreaking stories that queer traditional narratives and stoke the fires of revolution. Whether you'd like to sit back and bask in a warm story, or shake the branches of your creativity, you’ll be sure to have a great time.

The evening will consist of four 15-minute storytelling sessions in the sauna, guided by me with plenty of audience participation, broken up by dips in the plunge pool, and ending with an opportunity to drink tea, chat and reflect. While this will be a clothed event, eroticism and triggering themes may arise in the stories, so please consider your comfort levels in regards to this.

SAUNA LIFE DRAWING WITH ARTIST BARRY SYKES.

• Saturday, 27 April 2024
• 14:30 16:00

Join artist Barry Sykes for a drawing class with a difference. Using the stepped seating of the sauna cabin as an ideal life drawing studio, this is a chance to relax, experiment, and understand more about how our bodies behave in the heat.

Using water-soluble coloured pencils, we'll start with some quick drawing exercises, then a few longer poses, to capture the reclining body as we relax along the benches. Enjoy three rounds of guided sketching in the heat plus the optional cold plunge.

Suitable for absolute beginners or those looking to play around with their techniques. All materials provided.

Barry will be your tutor and your model, with the chance for you to pose too if you wish. We'll use Barry's 'Errorless Drawing' process that looks at context not detail, encouraging playful, loose gestures over perfect results.

Barry Sykes is an artist and teacher, with a practice built around the overlap of drawing, making and performance. He is the founder of the Sauna Reading group and currently developing an Arts Council funded research project called #SaunaAsStudio that examines the untapped potentials of bathing culture through various events and activities.
