Momentum Dance Perth Presents
World Premiere
Momentum Dance Perth is excited to celebrate their tenth year with their first full length work.
PENGUIN, created by renowned choreographer Scott Ewen, will reconnect you to our inspiring older dancers.

We Are Back!
Following the highly successful 2024 performance season of Momentum Unveiled, we are back.
Our performers are from diverse dance backgrounds and experiences. They now share a common goal and a joy in coming together to create and perform new works for older bodies.
From our very first rehearsal on Sunday 7th August 2016, we have grown and matured through five incredible shows:
-
'Unstoppable' - 2017
-
'Unbreakable' - 2018
-
'Unmanned' - 2019
-
'Undeterred' - 2022
-
'Unveiled' - 2024
Momentum Unveiled, presented at the State Theatre Centre to capacity crowds and rave reviews, proved that that there is a strong public viewing appetite for high quality productions performend by mature age dancers.

PENGUIN' - 2026
About
Penguin is a visually striking and deeply human contemporary dance work exploring connection, resilience, compassion, and the ways we move through life alongside one another.
Inspired by the quiet poetry of social mimicry, the work reflects on how people adapt, support, and shape one another through moments of change, uncertainty, love, and loss.
Through powerful physicality and tender intimacy, Penguin reveals the subtle ways we seek belonging, learning to move together even while carrying vastly different inner worlds.
At its heart, Penguin is about survival in community, the instinct to gather close, to protect, to imitate, and ultimately to heal. As memories resurface and relationships evolve, the performers navigate a world where the body becomes both witness and storyteller.
Momentum Dance Perth is excited to be supported by HotHouse Company at All Saints' College.
HotHouse has a long tradition of assisting working artists to create new productions. Guest artists are afforded the time, space and support required to realise and evolve ambitious creative visions.
As a community dance ensemble for older dancers, Momentum is extremely grateful for the opportunity to perform in the beautiful Upper Theatre at All Saints' College.
As part of the initiative, Scott Ewen's extensive dance experience is being shared with the students at All Saints' College through a series of technique classes and choreographic exchanges. Scott and Momentum have been given access to the Upper Theatre performance space for the duration of the mid-year school holidays.
Three weeks in a theatre space is a rare opportunity for any ensemble. We are looking forward to showcasing the new work PENGUIN.
