WA Independent Dance Artist Gathering

Join us for an upcoming gathering of WA independent dance artists and dance organisations!

The gatherings are designed to connect and strengthen our sector. They’ve been created in the same spirit as the Perth Dance Sector Gathering held in June last year following the release of the Independent Dance Sector Report in April 2024. If you need a refresher, here is a summary.

This is an opportunity to deepen relationships and openly discuss ways we can improve as a sector. Whether you’re an artist, producer or part of a dance organisation, your voice (and your ears) are vital!

DATE: Friday 1 May
TIME: 5 – 7pm
LOCATION: PICA’s Front Foyer Space, Perth WA
RSVP: Attendance is FREE but registration is essential. Please complete the form at the button below by Monday 27 April.
Light refreshments will be available to keep us all nourished.

This gathering will be facilitated by Ausdance WA with the support of WA Dance Org Gatherings (WADOG), including representatives from West Australian Ballet, Marrugeku, Co3, STRUT Dance, PICA, The Blue Room Theatre, Performing Lines and Perth Festival, convened by Ausdance WA.

The Independent Dance Sector Report was published in April 2024 by Carl Sciberras, Joshua Lowe and Frankie Snowdon, and supported by Creative Australia following a national survey and artist consultation. After the report was published, sector gatherings were arranged in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth to address challenges and explore actionable recommendations for the local sectors. This work has been supported by Creative Australia through the Leadership Program Alumni Fund, Theatre Network Australia, Dance Makers Collective, and GUTS Dance.

Ausdance WA is funded by the State Government of Western Australia through the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport

The community of Ausdance WA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of all Lands and Countries on this continent. We pay particular respect to Elders, Cultural and Community Leaders, and emerging leaders. With this understanding of the country’s First Peoples, we are grateful for our place in learning and serving dance, Arts and Culture in Western Australia.

Always Was. Always Will Be.
