Mature Program

Join us for a four-part series of workshops facilitated by acclaimed choreographer, director, teacher, writer and arts-advocate, Brian Lucas. With a multi-faceted career spanning over 40 years, Brian brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the program.

A sanctuary, in its original meaning, is a sacred place, such as a shrine, protected by ecclesiastical immunity. The term has since come to be used for any place of safety - a haven, a refuge._

Drawing on the real-life experiences of the participants, this exploratory creative workshop series will focus on the personal and collective search for sanctuary - a place of respite not just in our world, our communities and our homes, but especially within our own bodies.

It is about finding and nurturing a solid quiet core within an increasingly loud and chaotic world.

These workshops will explore the idea of allowing ourselves to move slowly in a world that moves increasingly quickly.

Of letting ideas reveal themselves to us, rather than being incessantly thrown at us.

Of allowing ourselves to safely embrace change rather than being constantly battered by it.

And the importance of gifting ourselves the time and space to think and feel deeply.

As part of ADC’s Mature Program, this series provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals in a supportive and stimulating setting, all while developing your own physicality and creativity.
