Casting call from ABC Catalyst - Sydney

Do you live in Sydney, are over 65, and want to get moving again?

ABC TV’s flagship science series, Catalyst is looking to recruit 10 volunteer participants (Individuals or couples) aged between 65 – 85 years old to take part in an innovative,12-week, Dance for Health program in Sydney from April to June 2022.

Over the 12 weeks, you will learn a dance routine under the guidance of one of Australia’s most celebrated choreographers.

Dancing is known to improve balance and gait, sharpen cognitive skills, promote emotional and physical functions of the body and provide social connection.

We are partnering with an academic team at the University of New South Wales, who will monitor our dancers from start to finish – looking at measurable improvements that the program will bring.

In the final week, there will be a performance of the dance routine to an audience of friend and family.

If this is, you contact Rebecca Hill Associate Producer, 0448 248 309, or email Hill.rebecca@abc.net.au
