Dani Tonks

Dani is a performer, movement practitioner, activist and workshop facilitator. She has a playful and sensitive approach, combining a range of disciplines including storytelling, dance, physical theatre and clowning.

Dani is the founder of Wild Play Lab; curating workshops, retreats and facilitating the unfolding of play as a tool for self transformation and wellbeing. She has recently created a new project called Rewilding Our Bodies; a journey to discover your ‘bodymind’. The knowing that emerges from tuning in to the sensations and subtle energies of the body.

When the body and the mind work together we can move in the world from a more whole and integrated place, using both logic and feeling to guide our decisions.

Wild Play Lab has formed collaborations across the UK with Mind Over Monkey, The Psychedelic Society, House of Togetherness, Noisily Festival, Poetry Cafe, Extinction Rebellion, Shine Charity, Beat Charity and Bootstrap Charity.

Dani has worked as an international performer, director and workshop facilitator for over 10 years. She has worked extensively in film, theatre, radio and TV, and has toured internationally with self devised shows.
