Opportunity for Emerging Dance-Makers

The Choreographic Program provides an opportunity for emerging movement artists and dance-makers to explore the mechanics and creative scope of choreography in a process-led environment. The program encourages participants to develop their individual artistry within the supportive framework of an established company.

Across 10 weeks, program co-facilitators Jess Devereux and Kelly Beneforti will take participants through lively dance exploration, experimentation and creative discussion in twice-weekly workshops, fostering more confident and articulate dance artists. 

Participants will -

• Gain skills and experience in solo and group choreographic investigations

• Explore improvisation, movement tasks, choreographic structures and multi-artform experiments 

• Create a short dance piece for a work-in-progress showing with a public audience

• Work and collaborate in a small-group specialised environment 

• Be led and supported closely through the program by Dance Animateurs Kelly Beneforti and Jess Devereux

• Have access to the expertise of Artistic Co-Directors Tim Newth and David McMicken

This year the program begins with a weekend intensive where we will submerge into an immersive, rich and playful environment for choreographic creativity.
