AUSTRALIA
A centre for dance making, collaboration and artistic exchange, based on the lands of the Wulgurukaba of Gurambilbarra and Yunbenun, and the Bindal of Thul Garrie Waja.
New Work
We are deeply committed to the creation of adventurous, thoughtfully conceived, and highly acclaimed new work.
Touring
We balance a dynamic regional presence with a commitment to touring our work nationally and internationally.
For Artists
An epicentre of cultural exchange, we enable dancemaking and support independent practice through residencies, secondments, and creative developments.
For Community
Our community experience program transcends barriers and dismantles distance and isolation in society.
Acknowledgment
Dancenorth acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which we make our work, the Wulgurukaba of Gurambilbarra and Yunbenun, and the Bindal of Thul Garrie Waja. The Wulgurukaba and Bindal people continue to nurture a deep and respectful relationship to land and sea and it is our great privilege and honour to create on their incredible country.
We respectfully acknowledge neighbouring groups of our region – the Gugu Badhun and Nywaigi. We pay our respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and their Elders past and present. We acknowledge the fact that sovereignty was never ceded and that Aboriginal people are Australia’s first dancers.
