There is nothing lame about going on a walk when you do it in style– and tap into your talents.
On Friday, October 10, folks from Wyndham, the west and the world over are invited to Werribee for a night walk that promises intrigue.
Nightwalks with Teenagers is a walking performance created with local youth who plan, design and lead a public walk through the Werribee at night, exploring the urban landscape.
Focused on the power of walking together, the performance invites teens and adults to have a unique social experience in a shared place and time, where people let loose and are freer to be themselves.
The aim of this session is to embrace those coming on the journey with and sharing moments of silence that are not awkward but offer the chance for contemplation.
Developed through workshops and rehearsals with the internationally renowned Mammalian Diving Reflex, each performance is co-created with local teens, drawing on their stories, talents and personal perspectives.
Mammalian Diving Reflex is a group that crafts performances by creating theatre productions and social events with the aim of bringing people of diverse backgrounds together.
The group and mission is named after a reflex found in mammals, which increases the chances of survival when plunged into a cold watery environment, a metaphor for surviving difficult times by trusting the body.
The group will meet out front of the Wyndham Cultural Centre for a 7.30pm start and commence the walk from there.
It is a two hour session, so come prepared.
