Found in Translation
A method developed by Dean Walsh, Found in Translation is an accessible contemporary dance / movement and performance-making workshop for people living with and without disability. It’s inclusive of participants who consider themselves to be practicing professional or non-professional artists and/or arts-workers and teachers.
Workshops can vary in length, from 1 day to 10 days and is focussed on developing techniques of self-expression and creativity via our body. Other methods like writing, drawing, singing, acting and even composing music, are also facilitated depending on how the group goes.
“The things we discover for ourselves are the most important. Our fragility is also very much our strength ... dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.”
renowned German choreographer, Pina Baush

PrimeOrderly
The basis of Dean Walsh’s practice, PrimeOrderly is a methodology developed with significant Australia Council support through interdisciplinary study of marine environmental science, aquatic environments and choreographic practice.
Specific aquatic-species movement modalities have been distilled into a taxonomy which can be learnt by movement artists.
Additionally, improvisation using marine-based image inscription, immersive sound, sense-stimulating suspended apparatus, scuba-breathing techniques, aquatic-physics and other methods of choreographic approach are included in the suite of offerings within PrimeOrderly.
Workshops can be 1 day through to several weeks. Included in this method is “DIPPED”, which results in a week of nightly performed improvisations by workshop participants with or without invited audience.
