Education Performance Project - Image
Tasdance’s annual Education Performance Project has become an integral part of the activities of many Tasmanian schools since it began over 13 years ago. In 2011 the project name (and theme) chosen is IMAGE.
In 2010 we broke attendance records for this highly anticipated fixture of Tasmanian secondary schools with a dance focus. This project aims to develop the technical skills and knowledge of secondary students and teachers who want to know more about contemporary dance practice.

Workshops
IMAGE begins with special school workshops conducted throughout the Tasmania from 7 March – 1 April 2011 with dancer/choreographers Jason and Liesel. Workshops are suited for grades 8–12. Participants in the workshop series, who are in grade 10 or above, are then invited to audition for a place in the performance company. Auditions will take place in Hobart, Launceston and Devonport in the week commencing 4 April 2011 – exact dates TBA.
Bookings for these workshops are essential. To maximise your chances of receiving your preferred date please contact the office by Monday 15 February 2011.
Cost $175.00 per workshop.
Performances
The performance tours Tasmania, from 2–6 May 2011 featuring the talents of the selected young dancers who with Liesel and Jason will create new choreography arising from the concept of Image. This show is appropriate for students of all ages. Book in early for both the workshops and performances as this is normally a sell out!
