Nightwalks with Teenagers is a walking performance created with local youth who plan, design and lead a public walk through the Werribee at night, exploring the urban landscape. Focused on the power of walking together, the performance invites teens and adults to have a unique social experience in a shared place and time, where people let loose and are freer to be themselves and where silences are not awkward but offer moments for contemplation.
Developed through workshops and rehearsals with the Internationally renowned Mammalian Diving Reflex, each performance is co-created with local teens, drawing on their stories, talents and personal perspectives.
