Moving Stories, is our dance-based arts program created in 2015 by Yvonne Ng, Artistic Director of tiger princess dance projects. Open to older adults ages 60 and beyond, this workshop offers an introduction into the enriching world of art, dance and creativity. Participants will be guided through an inspiring creative dance journey.
Participants will be led through fun, playful and gentle warm-ups as an introduction to the creative process. Dance and theatre arts will be explored through improvisation and gentle movement exercises.
Offering a window into the world of artmaking, Moving Stories is an opportunity for self-expression, sharing and most importantly, a chance to have fun. This program promises to be a positive, accessible and memorable experience for all.
For Older Adults ages 60 and beyond and suitable for participants with reduced mobility. Register through Eventbrite or call us at 416-368-6161 ext 8242!
