WELCOME TO THE SECOND DANCE MASSIVE
Australia boasts a vibrant, international reputation for producing dynamic contemporary dance and we are thrilled to have assembled for you this exhilarating collection of works from some of Australia’s finest contemporary dancers and choreographers.Â
This March, Melbourne will be electrified by over 200 artists in 22 performances and events over 14 days across our 3 host venues. Many of these artists are pushing the aesthetic envelope and blurring the boundaries between forms. From world premieres to a re-vamped cult classic, intimate solo works, dance on film, participatory events and ensemble productions, Dance Massive will take you places you hadn’t even imagined. Â
Alongside our performance program we are proud to be associated with the inaugural National Dance Forum – a lively gathering of Australian and international presenters and practitioners over two days and nights – as well as the Ausdance Victoria Dance Your Heart Out class and workshop series and the Tanja Liedtke Fellow in residence.Â
The Dance Massive collaborating partners; Arts House, Malthouse Theatre, Dancehouse and Ausdance Victoria would like to thank our supporters the City of Melbourne, the Australia Council for the Arts and Arts Victoria.Â
Whether you are an avid dance supporter or looking to experience something new, Dance Massive Melbourne is for you!
Australia is home to the oldest living culture on earth. Respect and engagement with this ancient culture and its contemporary lineage continues to make a unique contribution to creativity in this place and inspire our collective consciousness and understanding. Dance Massive acknowledges and respects the customs and traditions of Indigenous Australians and their special relationship with the land. The artists and organisers respectfully acknowledge that this program takes place on the land of the traditional owners of the Kulin Nation.
