Due to the recent legislative changes, trustees are no longer required for our operations. We extend our sincere gratitude to our trustees for their oversight of the Tracks trust fund and donations:

Rev Steve Orme, Dr Anita Toth, Paul Wan, Ippei Okazaki, Maari Gray, Will Crawford, Lachlan Peattie, Hon Chief Justice Michael Grant AO

Tracks says ‘no’ to trying to control the chaos, and ‘yes’ to developing fluid ways of interacting with it. We have invested many years in developing and offering improvisatory workshops for multiple dancers across many artistic disciplines, through choreographic development work and performance practice. This year we will be running several series of workshops, aimed at people with some improvisational practice already.

Impro Club is a series of regular gatherings satisfying the community's desire to extend and maintain their movement practice. Regular public performances will take place throughout the year in indoor and outdoor locations. This offering includes the popular Lushdance Intensives - a full day of studio time for improvisation, writing, drawing, and sharing food.

Program Co-leaders: Jess Devereux & Kelly Beneforti

We would like to inform you about an important update regarding our choreographic development program. Regrettably, due to unforeseen circumstances, our artistic team have made the executive decision to cancel this year's program.

But the good news is that a choreographic intensive workshop may be available later in the year - so keep an eye out for that opportunity! We would suggest subscribing to our newsletter for updates on this potential opportunity.

Amplify and represent young dancers and diverse voices in the life of dance practice.
