Transgressions is our biennial weekend of performances, discussion and workshops

As much as we love Transgressions, as a small organisation our reflections on previous events highlighted that we currently lack the resources to keep it going. We are, of course, exploring different options and are sure that we will find a solution.

 

See below some memories from past weekends:

Transgressions2023 - Who We Are

Dance artists and members of the public came together to explore the effects of ageing on artist’s work, and whether greater diversity in the age of artists making and performing work gives audiences a richer dance experience.

“Fantastic, the range of different pieces, amazing ideas, unusual presentation”  Audience member 2023

Inspiring beauty,  mesmerising …… Good to see all ages coming together as one   Audience member 2023

See what has happened before

Unfortunately, like so many events Transgressions2021 was cancelled. We were excited to continue working with Okarukas Dance Theatre culminating in a powerful performance on screen and live in Princes Quay Shopping Centre.

“I now feel I can do anything, I feel completely different now”   Participant 2021
