This project highlights the work of some of Australia's most innovative choreographers, and demonstrates what has been lost over the last two decades as funding for dance diminishes.
We urge you to participate in advocacy for dance, and here’s how you can get started. The Politics of Dance – an action plan will help you to speak up for dance, and to use our new dance archive, From the Vault, to illustrate what has been lost over the last two decades.
From the Vault begin with some of those artists who have been awarded an Australian Dance Award for Outstanding Achievement in Independent Dance since 2003.
In coming weeks we'll also profile choreographers from other dance sectors, including First Nations dance, youth dance practice, small companies & projects, dance & disability and community dance. We also hope to include some of the Australian pieces commissioned by the larger companies in recent years.
We will add new videos from various sectors each week, so watch this space each Monday!
