Presented by The Mill supported by venue partners ADT, and Dance Hub SA.
Dance Launchpad is a professional development program designed to support emerging contemporary dancers to build experience in the professional industry, by working with local South Australian choreographers. The program nurtures the ecology of dance in SA is supported by venue partners ADT and Dance Hub SA.
The program will commission two established choreographers, to share their wealth of industry knowledge with four emerging dance artists. Choreographers will be announced mid-end June 2021.
The outcome will be the creation of two choreographic works each performed by four selected dancers, presented in a double bill performance platform at ADT’s Odeon Theatre.
The choreography will be filmed by a professional videographer to create a ‘showreel’ for each dancer to showcase their skills nationally and internationally, promoting future employment.
The successful dancers will be selected through EOI process & Audition at Dance Hub SA in July 2021.
Dance Launchpad has been postponed until May 2022.
Dance Launchpad has been generously supported by Australian Dance Theatre.
