This workshop is inspired by a BBC episode of Planet Earth. We will look at the patterns of behaviour in Birds of Paradise. Societies in the tropical island of New Guinea often use bird of paradise plumes in their dress and rituals, and the plumes were very important in Europe in ladies' hats in past centuries. By studying their quirky dance routines and fun habits; we will try to capture their unusual dance moves by using bright colours and mark making with block printing.
