Performance - The Score

The Score is a contemporary dance work that will draw audiences in to reflect on their physical experiences of navigating life and propose the role of the body in holding memories and in the development of the sense of self. Using wearable art as costumes and swathes of silk textiles, the fabric play acts as an extension of the emotions the dance expresses.

The Score is an improvised performance by dance artist Tanya Voges developed with music by Belinda Gehlert and performed with dancers Amelia Watson and Queenie Wu.
In the exhibition, exhibition ticket required
