Take a Chance on Dance

Primary Schools Touring Show and Workshop

In 2009, Expressions' Dance-in-Education team will tour to Queensland primary schools in association with the Queensland Arts Council's ontour inschools. Expressions will offer the Take a Chance on Dance show, and the Take a Chance on Dance workshop. These can be used in conjuction with each other or can be booked as a separate education component.

Take a Chance on Dance Touring Show

The Take a Chance on Dance touring show uses concepts of space, chance, decision making and abstraction in a 50-minute dance theatre program. Curiosity and excitement are the primary creative elements involved in this highly interactive piece where a spin of the wheel can change the performance.

Take a Chance on Dance will give students the opportunity to participate in the creation of a new dance piece. Every performance is a world premiere!

Written and Directed by Jennifer Flowers
Choreography by Lisa Wilson

Take a Chance on Dance Workshop

This workshop is designed to engage students and teachers in the fundamental choreographic elements associated with creating non-narrative dance works. The workshop will involve generating and manipulating movement and spatial arrangements with the element of chance. Students will use fun devices such as dice, hats and spinning people to create elements of chance that influence their dance movements.

The Take a Chance on Dance workshop can been used in conjunction with the Ontour Inschools Take a Chance on Dance touring show or as an independent education component.
