You Don't Think You Can Dance? | For 50+, 60+, 70+ or beyond
Artwork Jacqui Stockdale
This workshop encourages seniors, elders, aunties, uncles, grandmas and grandpas to come along with your youngsters, as long as the ages together add up to 50+, 60+, 70+ and more!! (e.g. a 30 year old daughter/son with their parents/relatives/friends)
In Butoh, it’s OK not to be able to step 1,2,3 and skip and jump!
Your breathing is your dance, your hiccup is your dance and even changing the light bulb can become your beautiful dancing routine! A dance can begin from where you are sitting on a chair, or lying down in bed….
We take our inspiration from one of the founders of Butoh, Kazuo Ohno who started dancing in his 40's and continued dancing until 101 (he passed away at his age of 103).
This free workshop invites all ages of participants to join in. Together we can challenge our notion of ‘what is dance’ and have fun discovering and embracing odd moments of true dance!
Your safety is our priority
We take your safety seriously and have put in place the following COVID safety measures to ensure you are able to feel free and have fun whilst moving:
The capacity of each session is 20-25 participants to ensure physical distancing and to comply with government directions (please note: we will continue to adhere to government restrictions, and will notify you directly if this affects this program);
Each participant will be provided with their own floor markers to mark out their dance space to ensure safe distancing;
The workshop area whilst outside will be demarcated for the duration of the event to ensure members of the public are aware and ensure physical distancing;
You are encouraged to bring your own water bottle and water as the site water fountains have been switched off to reduce contamination;
Markers and any other equipment will be thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant between each session; and
Wearing a mask is mandatory inside and when you cannot maintain physical distancing, unless you have a lawful exemption for not wearing one.
