History

Central Coast Post School Options is a disability service located on the Central Coast of NSW. Although we are surrounded by beautiful coastal beaches we have limited and variable rainfall in our catchments and are currently under water restrictions that apply to all water users who use the town supply. In our organic gardens we aim to use water wisely and efficiently, engaging in environmentally responsible practices.

The Choreographers

Gosford GWDOur choreography came from our service users – young people with disabilities led by our All Access Arts staff. The group is made up of members of our Open Door Dance Company and Options Theatre Company. They are young people who are concerned about environmental issues and excited to use performance art to express that concern.

The Music

Australian composers/performers

The Performance

The performance was held as part of our Winter Solstice celebrations at Mt Penang Parklands. It featured members of Open Door Dance Company and Options Theatre Company. The event began with a poetry reading of original works by our young people with disabilities, followed by a dance piece entitled Grey Ocean. The group then participated in the global choreography of Global Water Dances. The audience participated in the closing moments of the piece.
