Melbourne, March 19–20 2011
In association with Dance Massive, the National Dance Forum – a project of the Australia Council and Ausdance National – will gather together an exciting, nation-wide mix of dancers, choreographers, curators, critics and collaborators in a lively discussion over two days in March, at Arts House North Melbourne Town Hall.
It is the first national forum of its kind for many years, and its overarching aim is to provide an opportunity for the dance sector to reflect on the state of dance practice in Australia now, and to chart a course for the future. The full forum program and list of speakers is now online at nationaldanceforum.net.au/program
Facilitator: Kristy Edmunds
