Frequently asked questions

MADE is a forerunner in mature arts in Australia, and the only company dedicated to the educative/health aspects of mature dance AND to an ongoing program of public performance of mature contemporary dance works. Established in 2005, MADE is a not-for-profit Tasmanian-based arts organisation that partners professional artists with non-professional dancers to create and present visually beautiful contemporary dance theatre. These works are performed by people aged 50 and over, in primarily non-traditional performance spaces. We create opportunities to showcase the power of dance and to show the mature artist as a creative, energetic force in, and engaged with, the world.
