January 2021
We’re back in lockdown, but FolkActive are delighted to announce that we’re reconnecting online with some of our regular groups.
Online FolkActive Dances and Southampton Folk Orchestra sessions are already successfully underway, and we’re keeping the FolkActive Youth Ensemble (FAYE) members updated with video and music resources. Dates of live Zoom sessions for FAYE will be announced shortly.
Funding from Sport England and Southampton Community Chest has enabled us to extend our online provision to include producing material for our dementia friendly Moving in the Moment sessions. Details will follow soon.
Stay safe and keep dancing, making music and being active!
At FolkActive we’re passionate about sharing active, skilful and joyful engagement in the folk arts with everyone.
We’re a social enterprise based in southern Hampshire. We use traditional music, songs and dances as fabulously flexible tools for achieving our aims of:
- improving health and wellbeing,
- bringing communities together, and
- educating young and old, to connect and engage with their folk heritage in lively and relevant ways.
