"When I was young, I was told not to dance because it led to further evils. Now I'm 90, I'm past all the further evils, so now I can dance!" Kevin Mischke If Only I Could… is an intergenerational dance project created and performed by a company of Brisbane's best independent professional dance artists and elderly participants from a Lutheran Services aged care home. These amazing elders take to the stage with grace and courage, a great sense of adventure, and a greater sense of humour to share a whimsical, magical, heartfelt performance that will have you smiling from ear to ear, and maybe shedding a tear. Projected imagery provides a window into big lives and great times, where wheelie walkers will fly and cowboys will round you up. By forming friendships, sharing stories, making new discoveries, and testing the abilities of their bodies and minds the aged care residents and professional dance artists have made a show quite unlike anything you've ever seen. Humorous, irreverent but chiefly a complex waltz between generations, let this production open your heart and move your spirit. A collaboration between Lutheran Services, QPAC and director Angela Chaplin. See new events on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxqKJcD5y33GNFEcVDXxjsw/video
