Australian Dance Party

Based in Canberra, Australian Dance Party communicates timely, powerful and playful ideas through site specific contemporary dance performances.

Out of the political capital comes Australian Dance Party, Canberra's new moving voice.

Australian Dance Party is a collective of Canberra contemporary dance artists who are driven to challenge ideals, tell local and universal stories and communicate current issues.

Established in 2016 by serial collaborator, dance and physical theatre artist, Alison Plevey The Party is inspired by the political identity of Canberra and in fuelling its professional dance community.

The Party creates new dance work in everyday spaces harnessing the power and playfulness of the human body. We aim to capture new audiences for dance and inspire their thinking, feeling and connecting within this contemporary world.

As a not-for-profit company we aim to build and sustain careers for our dance artists through the creation and presentation of new work and an investment in creative practice. In our projects we are interested in the intersection of academia, science and business to promote and extend the presence of dance broadly in today’s world.

Oh, and we party. . . contemporary dance style.
