Celebrate the life of Margaret Morris and the medium of dance, with a festival of celebration led by the Margaret Morris Movement.

Margaret Morris Movement gives an understanding of how correct breathing can increase stamina and range of movement, how working on posture can improve health and vitality, how using the body’s natural opposition can strengthen muscles, all this as well as balance, agility and co-ordination leading to being able to free the body to dance and the mind to be creative.

The Margaret Morris Movement gives the technique to improve skills and the encouragement to be creative.

Join Perth Museum and Art Gallery for a range of workshops for a wide variety of age groups, with some even being FREE!
