2017 Participation Program
Throughout year
In the Tracks dance world, everyone should have the chance to enjoy dancing. The Tracks Participation Program is about engaging in dance as a whole of life activity and presenting it publically. This program provides diverse opportunities to be involved in a project at Tracks, including everything from large-scale one-off participatory performances to smaller pop-up performances, and even the chance to be seen on stage in the Darwin Festival and Darwin Fringe Festival.
