Becoming
Becoming was an innovative place-based arts project in the City of Port Phillip. It brought together older people with and without disability to work with members of the Rawcus Ensemble and Director Celebrate Ageing, to explore the lived experiences of ageing and disability. Becoming empowered participants to express their identity and experiences - challenged cultural norms, reflected changing aspirations and celebrated the diversity of Port Phillip. Becoming was an artistic expression of connection to people, community and place through dance, movement, film and photography.
Becoming was supported by The City of Port Phillip’s Cultural Development Fund and Gandel Philanthropy. Choreography by Rinske Ginsberg, photography by Paul Dunn and films by Tim O’Keefe and Marie Pangaud.

Intergenerational learning
Over a series of workshops, artists and participants collaborated through movement, discussion, exercises and multimedia to connect and learn from each other - and make art about ageing and how we continue to Become as we age.
