Performance Review Online
Across 2024 and 2025, Performance Review and Dancehouse have co-commissioned critical responses to the Dancehouse program, for the purpose of celebrating and critically engaging with new works of contemporary dance. Dancehouse and Performance Review are thrilled to present these offerings, which feature extending reflections on Danehouse’s Seasons.
Seasons: Performance Review
In 2025, Dancehouse partnered with Performance Review edited by Anador Walsh to pilot a commission and publish five 1000-word pieces in response to choreographic works presented at Dancehouse. The partnership welcomes diverse and expanded writing practices and these pieces can take any form the writer chooses. This partnership is an act of mutual support by Performance Review and Dancehouse, that aims to document, reflect on and critically engage with Dancehouse’s program, archive contemporary dance practice through writing and build emerging arts writers’ literacy in and capacity to write about dance and its history and theory.
KCA: Performance Review
This month the Keir Choreographic Award (KCA) partnered with Performance Review, a dedicated space for the development of discursive and experimental writing about live art, to bring you interviews with this year’s commissioned artists.
The Keir Choreographic Award is a partnership between Dancehouse, The Keir Foundation and the Australia Council for the Arts, with presenting partner Carriageworks.
