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.

Amaara Raheem is a movement artist, writer and researcher working to push the edges and boundaries of what dance can be, or become. She works as a solo and collaborative artist mainly on projects that engage with movement and words; communities and landscapes. More recently she’s been working as a curator, engaged in forms of interdisciplinary exchange, seeking to bring practices of care to performing as well as processes of doing and togethering.

Kevin Jeynes is variously an improvisational performance artist, educator, and arts inclusive psychotherapist. He has been a Lecturer and Supervisor in the Master of Therapeutic Arts Practice Program at The MIECAT Institute since 1999, at campuses in both Brisbane and Melbourne, and has maintained a private clinical practice since 1976. He has performed extensively throughout Australia at venues in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra. His performance explorations have, over the past 20 years, incorporated movement, sound, song and text. Kevin trained extensively with Andrew Morrish, Tony Osborne and Al Wunder, each iconic practitioners and teachers of improvised performance in Australia.

Make It Up Club is an artist-run and curated, avant-garde experimental improvised music and sound art concert series presenting gigs every Tuesday night in Melbourne since 1998.
