Members of Body Wisdom with Learning Age Development Officer Sinead Devine And Dancer Steve Batts (Artistic Director of Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company) The Learning Age Project (LAP) caters specifically for the needs of our older learners aged 50+. WEA has collaborated with Echo Echo Dance Theatre Company over the years to create many wonderful projects together. The latest on the LAP project is “Body Wisdom” - a dance course with a difference. The course is specifically for those aged 50+ and rather than age being against you in terms of movement, it is used to your advantage to help inform the movement taking place. Now there is a new opportunity to develop this project to create an original dance performance piece. There are still places available and you do not need any previous experience. So are you aged 50+ and interested in dance and movement? Maybe you just loved to dance when you were younger and are looking for a new opportunity to dance once again. Maybe you have been put off by the athleticism of younger dancers - then this is the project for you. Maybe you creative in other ways and would like to extend your creativity into another area? The movement within the process is based on the experience and wisdom which is written into our physicality as we grow older. In other words it is to your advantage on this project. The process will be led by Steve Batts, himself an older dancer now aged 50. There will be an original score for the performance from Christopher Norby.The theme will be “Memory of Place” and will draw on the memories of places that have remained special to us throughout our lifetime. Venue: Dance Studio @ Waterside Theatre This project is supported by
