Documentary looking at the intense and challenging workshop period of this new performance Art piece in creative development, centering around the theme of the 7 Deadly Sins. This is the second collaborative work between Tasmanian based Mature Artists Dance Experience (MADE) and acclaimed director/choreographer Graeme Murphy and his creative partner Janet Vernon. Established in 2005, MADE creates and produces inspiring dance-theatre performed by people aged 50 years and over. MADE partners professional artists with non-professional dancers to create highly aesthetic contemporary dance theatre performances in primarily non-traditional presentation environments and connects to audiences of all ages, communicating the lived experience, reflecting on life and expressing story through dance-theatre. The work of MADE is particularly timely and relevant in the context of a globally aging population as it shifts the lens from a youth-centric culture to one that recognizes and values the significant contribution mature adults make to our cultural identity.
