SLOWLY SLOWLY: A series of 3 workshops by master dance practitioner Wendy Morrow.

The Fourth Floor, 65 Murray St, Hobart

In this workshop series MADE is offering participants a deeper and more focused dive into selected elements of performance and physical practice mastery. Slow and gentle, it is suitable for those curious in gaining a deeper understanding of their moving body through the creative exploration of ideas and concepts that are relevant to mature bodies and minds.

Wendy uses a combination of somatic and anatomical information, writings and imagery to inform the basis for slow movement, partner work, directed touch and physical explorations. This process is used as a pathway into exploring the imaginative and expressive body through moving. Material from Wendy's ongoing Coming of Age project will be used as creative lures to underpin these workshops.

About Mature Artist Dance Experience
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.
