What happens when all the community come together to get physically creative. People get active, giggle, imagine, open up and improve their health and wellbeing.
We understand that there are so many options competing for leisure time and those most reluctant to get active can end up making choices which are detrimental to their health and wellbeing.
Action Art Play is tackling head-on attitudes to physical activity including stubborn inequalities by offering an alternative, accessible, fun, safe and top-quality activity for all the community to grow in confidence and happiness in participating in physical activity.

Dale, runs Action Art Play workshops all around the world.
He combines sport; running, athletics and dancing with the art-making process. He calls this physical creativity!
The early version of Action Art Play was offered as a treatment option that Doctors would refer patients to use.
The idea of Action Art Play started as a one to one activity, but soon developed into live art sessions with groups of participants.
His workshops are guided by the idea of getting active whilst creating art- the collective energy is a result in itself with the added bonus of creating art masterpieces.
