Performance - The Score

The Score is a contemporary dance work with live music 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 a new work by dance artist Tanya Voges developed and performed with musician Belinda Gehlert and emerging dancers Alix Kuijpers, Fern Mines, Amelia Watson and Queenie Wu.
