Dancers are Dancing Series is a 5-day intensive for dancers looking to expand their movement practice and enrich their growing body of knowledge. Curated by Tra Mi Dinh, Dancers are Dancing is a professional development opportunity for dance artists to engage in rigorous practice sharing.
Participants will experience a range of specific movement languages, choreographic methodologies, and somatic practice through the lens/brains/bodies of five of Naarm’s most exciting independent artists: Melanie Lane, Kimball Wong, Amber McCartney, Lee Serle, and Harrison Ritchie-Jones.
Across the week-long intensive, each artist will host a full-day workshop, sharing their distinct artistic practice with the cohort. This series has been cultivated towards professional dance artists (those with a dedicated movement practice, emerging artists, and tertiary-level students or equivalent).
The week-long intensive offers dancers a chance to consciously drop into a considered expansion and exploration of artistic practice in an intensive environment designed to challenge and inspire. Supported by incredible workshop leaders, participants will deepen and broaden their understanding of specific movement languages/ideas while fostering connection and community with fellow movers.
This series is fuelled by a desire to nurture and sustain the exhilarating energy that builds when dancers share and learn together. If you’re yearning for that highly coveted ‘overseas workshop festival high’ but can’t afford the travel… then this is for you! Invigorate your dance practice with some of Australia’s best.
Dancers are Dancing will take place 7-11 July at Temperance Hall in South Melbourne. Pricing is $380 for professional dance artists, $330 for students in their final year of dance training, and $160 for First Nations people. Dancers are Dancing is offering one full scholarship and two half scholarships for people who are experiencing extreme financial hardships.
Applications are due on Monday 26th May and successful applicants will be notified on Monday 2nd June. Applications will be assessed by Tra Mi and the workshop leaders.
