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.
Current neuroscience research supports the theory that memories of life events are held in the fibres of our being, embodied pre-verbal states and memories written on the body. The work of polyvagal theorist Stephen Porges and neuroscientist Bessel Van Der Kolk - who wrote “The Body Keeps the Score” - as well as the work of seminal dance movement therapists and somatic practitioners all influence Tanya's new suite of works.
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.
The showing will be followed by a short Q&A with Tanya, hosted by The Mill CEO / Artistic Director Katrina Lazaroff. Audiences will have the opportunity to ask questions about the development and provide feedback about the performance.
