A force to be reckoned with, Nipaluna/Hobart’s Mature Artists Dance Experience (MADE) bring a double bill encore performance to the Studio Theatre. The two performances, led by Tasmania’s Emma Porteus and British contemporary dance legend Liz Aggiss, encapsulate the wildly different sides to ageing.

One is a sometimes soft, sensual collaboration of beings, the other a little loud, defiant and often downright funny. Expect an equally meaningful, relatable and fiery evening of dance by this dynamic and inspiring ensemble.
