New York Residency | Churchill Fellowship

To study accessible dance theatre
performances to boost the general
public audience base for contemporary
dance in australia

My passion is to create accessible dance theatre for Australian audiences.  It is my mission to create a dance language for people unversed in dance, providing dance that is relevant to the general public.  I want to make contemporary dance theatre popular.

I want dance to mean something to the Australian community. When people ask me what I do and I reply ‘choreograph contemporary dance’, the majority ask me “what is that”.  The remainder often say “I just don’t get dance” or even worse “ I just don’t do dance”. It is my mission as an Australian choreographer to change this opinion and create dance theatre works that resonate with audiences.

  The fellowship was a catalyst for new ideas, broadening my scope and understanding of contemporary dance theatre practices, challenging my thinking and improving my own practice
