Inspire Movement // Build Unique Expression

#Unleash your creativity through dance and storytelling

Inspire Movement // Build Unique Expression (IM//BUE) is a dynamic, intergenerational workshop for active adults who are passionate about dance and eager to unlock their creative potential. Led by renowned guest artist Philip Channells and Queensland Ballet’s Community and Education team, participants in this two-day workshop will embark on a collaborative journey of discovery. Explore new movement styles, devise original choreography, and craft pieces that reflect your personal stories. This program fosters confidence, connection, and the joy of creation in a welcoming and inspiring environment.

This workshop will culminate in an informal presentation in the studio that the participants’ family and friends are invited to attend, to showcase the creative journey they have explored together.

IM//BUE is open to individuals of all ages and abilities who love to dance. A willingness to perform is desirable but not a requirement for this workshop.
