IndepenDANCE 2019 Showing

Phluxus2 Dance Collective are known as boundary bashing dance makers from Brisbane. As proud members of Queensland’s artistic community, Phluxus2 know it is vital for artists to collaborate, experiment and challenge practice. In its sixth year indepenDANCE offers a space for local artists to take risks and create.

5 new works. 5 choreographers. 11 dancers. 1 showing.

IndepenDANCE challenges artists to think outside the square, shatter the square and question if the square should be a square at all. Over an intensive period of 3 weeks local independents come together, create, explore, share, shatter and collaborate. This showing is an opportunity to see these premiere works in development and support our local community.

2019 Choreographers – Margi Brown Ash, Joel Fenton, Lauren Graham, Jayden Grogan and Matilda Skelhorn.

2019 Dancers – Chris Braithwaite, Jade Brider, Maddison Campbell, Alexa Dewar, Natalia Ladyko, Nadia Milford, Erin O’Rourke, Tiana Pinnell, Lauren Sherlock, Juno Toraiwa and Chiu-Ju Wang.

IndepenDANCE could not have been possible without the vision and guidance of Phluxus2 Artistic Director Dr Nerida Matthaei and the 2019 project team Charles Ball, Felix Palmerson, Jacob Watton and Keith Clark. Big thank you to our supporters Dave Sleswick and The Tivoli, Meg Cooper and Mad Dance House, 2019 choreographic mentor Lisa Wilson and indie supporters and panel Liesel Zink and Gareth Belling.
