Join dance artist Viv Rogis in this photography and movement workshop, inspired by the beautiful shapes we find in nature. Working together as a group we will start with a walk in the trees nearby, and then make movements and shapes inspired by what we see. Viv will photograph the trees and the movement and weave them together to create an image to add to the Stories of Mooroolbark community artwork project. No movement experience or camera needed.

This is the inaugural Family Dance Day event and I am so very excited that we will be spending it with the wonderful Djirri Djirri dancers! They are called the Djirri Djirri Dance Group, after the Woi wurrung (Wurundjeri) name for Willy Wagtail because the Djirri Djirri is a little black bird who is well known to dance all the time. The Djirri Djirri dancers offer dance that is of their culture with the essence of traditional dance/ceremony. All of their dances have a story about creation, family and Country.

The Family Dance Day is about ALL AGES coming together in one place to have fun & learn a little something about dance in all its vibrant diversity! Each workshop will be different, offering a new dance experience to participants.
BUT..... Don't let the words DANCE & FAMILY worry you. You don't need to know anything about dance, and you can come by yourself because you are about to meet your new Dance Family. Yes that's a thing!!! You can also send along your children (6 and up) as there will be a special workshop supervisor to give them a helping hand throughout. Children under 6 must be with a paying adult who will assist them throughout the workshop.
DANCE LOOPS are school holiday programs that focus the passion and energy of young people to create, share and push their movement boundaries in a safe and encouraging environment.
Designed to deliver a microcosm of the creative process, from idea, through making to performance, students will;
learn new skills,
Hone the ones they already have and
Share in making high quality & age appropriate dance.
Each Dance Loop is unique and will involve at times, different facilitators, different themes and philosophies for making or doing dance and a variety of performance outcomes.
Below is the short dance film that was made in collaboration with the Winter Dance Loop participants in 2018.
Programs located in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne, The Dandenong Ranges and the Yarra Valley.
