Lia Miller, executive director of Creative Aging Network, asks “How do you allow yourself to be moved… emotionally… physically? And what does age have to do with it?”
You can find out Friday, May 6, at the seventh annual Creative Aging Symposium, Move & Be Moved, at Southminster in Charlotte. More than a professional conference, it is an immersive, inspirational gathering to open the mind, fuel the soul, and expand connections.
This year’s Keynote Presenter, Michelle Pearson, is a choreographer, dancer, and master teacher actively working in communities throughout the state and abroad. She creates dances with people of all ages and abilities including veterans, inmates, retired clowns, preschoolers, politicians, and professional dancers.
Inspiration will also come from a performance by three dancers ages 18, 45, 62 from Rainbow Dance Company, Raleigh’s 35-year-old multi-generational modern dance company and an excerpt of Move to Action by Black Box Dance Theatre featuring two women ages 40 & 60 and a purple-heart Wounded Warrior.
