I witnessed something today that was off the scale magical
If Only I Could at the Judith Wright Centre brought together residents of the Zion Aged Care Centre at Nundah with professional contemporary and ballroom dancers in an arts project that proves you can teach old dogs new tricks (absolutely no disrespect intended. ) Under the guidance of choreographer Lizzie Vilmanis, the professionals and more mature amateurs worked together to present something that was touching, funny and stunningly beautiful. It gave the amateurs permission to set their own limits rather than having limits set upon them, to be silly and to shine. The dancers showed compassion, leadership and a great deal of humour as well as grace and skill. It was real, it was touching and I may have shed a tear. Right now this is still a work in progress. I can't wait to see here that progress takes it.
