Brooke Stamp and Matthew Day are a choreographer / dramaturg duo working across dance, performance and visual art, exploring the body as a site of memory, impulse, attention and transformation.
In July 2026, they visit STRUT Dance as part of Restore, bringing the award-winning work Mickey to Perth audiences for the first time.
This workshop invites you to enter the body as a site of memory, impulse and imagination, and to notice the hidden histories that shape how we move.
Through movement, voice, improvisation and embodied attention, Brooke and Matthew will guide participants through a practice of listening, sensing and responding. Together, we’ll explore how breath, memory, sensation and speculation can become live creative material, opening new ways of thinking, feeling and making choreography.
The pair will also share insight into the practice behind Mickey, an award-winning work that opens up the hidden labour, memories and impulses beneath performance. Through this exploration, attention becomes both a practice and a material, inviting us to consider what the body carries, remembers, distorts and transforms.
This workshop is an invitation to move, listen and speculate without needing to arrive anywhere fixed, reconnecting with dance as a site of curiosity, play and possibility.
