𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 is an artistic exploration that invites us to question the significance of dance in our lives.
Inspired by historic restrictions on dance and artistic expression from around the world, the work draws on Australians’ recent experience of COVID-19 dance restrictions, while reminding us that restrictions on dance and gathering have a much longer and brutal history for First Nations people in this country.
Moving across contemporary, cultural and street dance forms, 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 brings professional dance artists and a large community cast together in a call to return to our basic human need to move, gather and express ourselves — led by the oldest living culture in the world.
Part dance work, part public service announcement, it creates a space to reflect on what is lost when we can’t dance — and what happens when we come together again.
Following its 2025 pilot, 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘀 comes to Gimuy / Cairns, bringing together the touring professional cast, local First Nations dance artists and our Gimuy Community Cast for one huge outdoor performance at 𝗙𝗼𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸.
Expect dance, storytelling, music and projection — and yes, probably a little chaos.
