Dancehouse is on Wurundjeri Country. We offer our respects to the Wurundjeri woi-wurrung people — and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people — who continue to dance on Country, and have done, for thousands of generations. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

This lightly facilitated day-long event will offer a safe, supportive, and stimulating environment for practicing improvised performance. The day’s sessions will be structured in a simple way to allow time for everyone to perform, reflect, and receive positive feedback. Participants will have the opportunity to create multiple short pieces that explore across movement, dance, sound and spoken word.

This event builds on the lineage of improvisation in contemporary dance practice in Melbourne and opens to forms and methods of improvisation in other creative fields and cultural practices. Improvisation as a performance technique is the disciplined exploration of embodied practice that leads to crafted, spontaneous, and artful communication made on-the-go.
