With work stretching back to 1988 Tracks has created many dance performances and activities. With our unique Australian geographic positioning, we are renowned for our radically local approach to making our dance works. Our company members are drawn from our community, rich with diversity in age, cultures, beliefs and styles. Tracks Dance celebrates intercultural and intergenerational differences. As we do not tour our work, we invite you to take a virtual tour through this site.
Tracks Artistic Co-Directors David McMicken and Tim Newth have conceived and directed many iconic works over the past decades. This work celebrates the spirit of individuals and groups, and the place they live. Iconic Tracks Works
