Now in its 10th year, Fresh Tracks is a key part of the Development Program at Tracks Dance Company, offering dance artists the chance to present experimental works or pieces in progress. Participants are selected from our residencies, Choreolabs, and other initiatives, as well as our network of connected performers. This program aims to foster the growth of the dance community and audiences in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Fresh Tracks serves as a performance platform for diverse choreography, encouraging independent artists to take creative risks. Tracks supports these artists by providing studio space, creative guidance and mentoring, and production assistance to prepare their works for performance. This year, we will showcase these new works in our studio space in Darwin, followed by an artists' talk to offer insights into their creative processes. With many returning audience members, Fresh Tracks has become a valued event for dancers, supporters, and local artists. We hope to introduce new audience members to the richness and complexity of dance, encouraging them to become regular attendees.
