International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) is a United Nations sanctioned day that celebrates the contributions and achievements of people with disability and promotes awareness, understanding and acceptance in our community.
Each year, Dancenorth collaborates with a group of Townsville Community Learning Centre students to create an original dance performance. This year, the group has been inspired by Lighting the Dark, .a bold new work by Chris Dyke a Karuna (Adelaide) based dancer and choreographer living with Down Syndrome. A profound celebration of the human experience, a transcendent journey which traverses individual and universal truths in a dance to the very centre of what it means to be human.
Be transported to this revolutionary world by our new dance performance, created in collaboration with our enthusiastic, charming and feisty cast of young dancers from Townsville Community Learning Centre.
This event will be photographed.
Celebrate the diversity within our community and share in the joy of dance as a foundation to create connections that enrich and enhance our lives.
This event will be Auslan interpreted and include inclusive participatory dance opportunities for all mobilities.
Join us Friday, 6 Dec 2024 from 4:00pm at Dancenorth Theatre, 188 - 210 Stanley Street, Townsville, Queensland, 4810
