Post show Q&A | Fri 18 July
Join us post-performance on Friday 18 July for a thought-provoking Q&A exploring how dance embraces both technical brilliance and genuine inclusivity. The conversation will delve into how our dancing bodies connect our inner experience with the external world, and how movement fosters physical health, social connection, and a strong sense of wellbeing.

momenta is a one-act, 75-minute, whirlwind of power, grace, and physicality.
