Where we’re at: Street Dance in the Australian cultural landscape

Street dance is an artistic and cultural expression in Australia that reflects our interculturalism and continues to evolve with its influences locally and globally. Its current and future impact is shaping our landscape in multifaceted ways. In collaboration with Cypher Culture and VCA, this panel discussion on street dance will look at the theoretical and social movements of the collectivised forms and what roles we have within creative industries in supporting it. The invited speakers come together from across the sphere of street dance from local, national and international contexts including artists, grassroots initiatives and cultural organisations. This discussion will be facilitated by Julie Minaai with our panel of cultural makers from across the ecosystem. International guest Thomas DeFrantz, Efren Pamilacan on behalf of Cypher Culture, Carolyn Ooi from the Dancehouse team, Lowell Demetita repping L2R Dance and independent artists, Feras Shaheen and Troi -Saraih Isley. This panel will be captured on the night, so if you can’t attend in person we’ll be circulating this post event.
