Step inside the creative world of internationally acclaimed choreographer Garry Stewart in this high-energy workshop for secondary dance students. Drawing on Stewart’s brand-new Queensland Ballet production Elastic Hearts, students experience how dance can reveal themes of community, resilience, vulnerability and interconnectedness.
Led by Queensland Ballet Teaching Artists, the session includes:
- Adapted repertoire – learn and perform a short sequence drawn from Elastic Hearts, developing contemporary technique, musicality and expressive skills.
- Choreographic tasks – collaborate in small groups to devise original movement using production elements, experimenting with tension, release and the “invisible connections” between people and nature.
Mapped to ACARA Dance V9 (Years 7-10) and QCAA General Dance and Dance in Practice syllabus content, this workshop encourages students to refine technical and expressive skills, practise safe-dance techniques and expand their choreographic toolkit, while offering a rare opportunity to engage with a major Australian world premiere.
