FUTURE TIDES at the Manning Entertainment Centre Taree (MEC) 

July 14-19 2025 (performances 19th July)

FUTURE TIDES is an epic week of experimentation through movement, dance, performance and music making. Take a deep dive into a week of creativity and discovery in workshops led by Kristina Chan, Kathryn Puie, Sophia Ndaba and James Hazel. These five nationally and intentionally accomplished artists will guide you in workshops as they develop an experimental performance that you, with the artists, will perform in the Beryl Flett Studio MEC.

We are seeking a diverse range of community members to partake in FUTURE TIDES (ages 15 - 65yrs)

There is no requirement for formal dance or performance training. We are looking for people that are open to experimentation, collaboration, and are willing move their bodies and to be led by professional artists throughout the week.

Our intention is to create a supportive and inspiring environment for you to delve into a new engaging experience through creative practice, dance, movement, voice and performance.

FUTURE TIDES is an invaluable opportunity not to be missed!
