Ausdance WA is funded by the State Government of Western Australia through the Department of Local Government Sport and Cultural Industry.
In this innovative cross-arts partnership between the Art Gallery of WA and WA’s newest contemporary dance company, Co3, Gallery visitors will experience a creative response to their State Art Collection and Gallery architecture re-interpreted through contemporary dance and collaborative performance. br>
br>
Over the course of one week every month, you can observe Co3 Artistic Director and choreographer, Raewyn Hill, as she creates a new work, Reason for Being, with Co3 dancers in the Gallery’s spaces. br>
br>
Reason for Being provides a platform for innovation, collaboration and exchange, a site for some of Perth’s leading voices from across the creative industries to share ideas and involve themselves in responding to and defining a distinct contemporary choreographic language. br>
br>
From first conceptual conversations through to a showing of the week’s work, Hill unpacks her creative practice, revealing the process of creating contemporary dance in the unusual live studio environment of AGWA. br>
br>
Reason for Being is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body and Wesfarmers Arts. br>
