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.

SIOBHAN MCKENNA was awarded the Choreographic Award for showing outstanding potential through her work Petri-Dish upon graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts (2016).

McKenna was the recipient of a NSW Young Regional Artist Scholarship (2017), which supported the development of her work Utterance before its premiere in the Melbourne Fringe Festival at Dancehouse (2017).  Utterance won the Best Dance Award and the Temperance Hall Award. McKenna has worked with artists including Lee Pemberton on her Artistic Fellowship and has choreographed a short work for Youth Company, fLiNG Physical Theatre, which premiered in Bega, NSW.
