Dance with Lou Lou Barrett is a dancer and dance teacher with a career spanning nearly 30 years. Lou trained in contemporary dance and is also a choreographer creating and touring the UK with her own performance company - all supported by Arts Council England. In 2012 Lou hung her performing shoes up and opened the doors to her own studio - GingerFred Dance Studio in South Somerset. Lou teaches a wide range of classes from general dance fitness to social ballroom & Latin plus Argentine tango. Over a hundred adults come to the studio each week to get a fix of dancing - Lou very much leans in to the idea that dance and dance classes are enabling us to keep fitter and stronger, create a community of joy and it should be accessible to all - for Lou it is not at all about what it 'looks like but rather 'what does it FEEL like?' - Dancing should be for absolutely everyone. Lou was also the director of Outset Festival - the LGBTQ theatre and music festival at the BrewHouse Taunton and with funding from the Arts Council Lou also directed Tallulah Theatre for women identifying as Queer in the South West. Lou is excited to be bringing her dance workshops to Out and Wild - creating a dancing space that is a celebration of everyone finding the joy in same sex partner dancing - as it should be.

y name is Ailsa, and I’m a Welsh outdoor instructor based in North Wales. I’ve spent much of my career working in the outdoors through climbing instruction, mountain walking, scrambling, and other adventure-based activities across Eryri / Snowdonia. After taking time away from instructing to train in carpentry, I found myself drawn back to the mountains and to creating spaces where people can reconnect — both with nature and with themselves. That journey led me to create Siwrnai — the Welsh word for “journey”. Through Siwrnai, I offer guided outdoor experiences rooted in exploration, curiosity, and reconnection. My work ranges from adventurous days in the mountains and on the water to slower, more reflective practices such as Forest Bathing and nature connection. I’m passionate about creating inclusive and welcoming outdoor spaces, particularly for people who may not always feel represented or comfortable in traditional outdoor settings. Alongside this work, I also founded Queer Hiking North Wales as part of my wider commitment to belonging, community, and access in the outdoors. I believe outdoor spaces can be powerful places for healing, reflection, adventure, and growth. My approach is about guiding without over-directing — creating opportunities for people to slow down, tune into their surroundings, and experience nature in a more mindful and connected way. Adventure & Nature Connection in the Mountains For Out & Wild Festival, I’ll be running a relaxed and welcoming workshop centred around adventure, connection, and exploring the landscapes of Eryri and beyond safely and confidently. The session would create space for an open conversation about getting started with outdoor adventures in North Wales — from hiking and wild swimming to mountain days and exploring nature more independently. I’d like to share practical guidance around where to begin, how to stay safe, build confidence outdoors, and have meaningful and positive experiences in nature regardless of experience level. Alongside this, I’d also like to introduce some gentle Forest Bathing and nature connection practices that participants can take away with them on future adventures. These simple exercises are designed to help people slow down, tune into their surroundings, and experience the outdoors in a calmer, more mindful way — balancing adventure with moments of reflection and presence. The overall aim of the session is to make the outdoors feel more accessible, welcoming, and enriching for people who may feel curious about adventure but unsure where to start, while also encouraging a deeper connection with the landscapes we move through.

My classes include a series of postures and gentle stretches connected in a slow flow that guides you into deep relaxation, through fun and light-hearted sequences. Attention is paid to the breath, used as a calming and grounding tool. My classes are suitable for beginners with plenty of options and modifications offered. It’s also appropriate for any other advanced yogini or yogi who wants a calming, relaxing class that will leave you feeling energised and, at the same time, rested.

Out and wild is humming some of its last notes, you've spent the whole weekend making new friends and trying new things – perhaps you've whittled a mushroom. Your heart is full to the brim and you're ready to mentally and physically settle down. Now is the perfect moment to try restorative yoga - finding peace and comfort in breath-led movement and stillness in poses that are restful and designed to let you sigh with relief. This, coupled with a lo-fi musical mix, will leave you feeling mellow and perhaps with a little more energy to enjoy the last night hurrahs.

We spend our whole lives being so external, being stuck in our heads and then doing things to keep everyone else happy, forgetting about ourselves entirely until our bodies let us know that's no longer possible. We're so afraid of letting people down, getting things wrong, not being perfect that we stay stuck in boxes that other people have put us in. This workshop will support you to unstick yourself and break out of the boxes that aren't really you, that don't serve you, that keep you from your authentic true queer joy. In this workshop we will do different kinds of guided movement designed to reset the nervous system, bring a sense of safety in being ourselves, and then we will move into dance that is guided by your inner self - your inner child, the parts of you that are exiled, the parts that you stop from dancing because you're afraid of looking stupid. You will be invited to start to move to your own inner rhythm and the way your body wants to move. This is very powerful because if we tap into this in ourselves we can unlock stuck parts of ourselves, and things the body is holding onto - pain, trauma, emotions, fear, patterns, habits, beliefs - anything that's no longer serving but is stuck in the body. The body shows us how to release it if we listen and can let go into our own inner dance. Come join me and dance yourself free of what's weighing you down, keeping you small, holding you back.
