WHORL – Art Gallery of WA
November 14
Presented by Lifespan Dance and AGWA, WHORL is a new seated dance performance choreographed by Paige Gordon, to music created by Louis Frere-Harvey. Inspired by the spiralling shapes found in coastal shells, botanical structures and our own fingers/footprints, the formation and movements reflect the winding and unwinding pathways.
WHORL raises our awareness of the simplicity of a spiral motif, honouring the environment with colour, movement, joy and hope. WHORL builds on the success of the ‘Exquisite Bodies’ performance in Seniors Week last year, which was a performative dance response to Bruno Booth’s exhibition collaboration with Gallery 09 creatives.
Community and virtuosic dancers are welcome to be part of the WHORL performance. Once registered, you will receive a link to the choreography to learn in your own time and place.
We will come together for a Community Rehearsal before performing the work twice on Thursday, November 14th afternoon (2:45pm and 3:30pm). Register soon – numbers are limited. Audiences are welcome to the performances. Let’s celebrate Seniors Week 2024!
The community of Ausdance WA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of all Lands and Countries on this continent. We pay particular respect to Elders, Cultural and Community Leaders, and emerging leaders. With this understanding of the country’s First Peoples, we are grateful for our place in learning and serving dance, Arts and Culture in Western Australia.
Always Was. Always Will Be.
