25.01.2022 DANKE everyone who joined us on Sunday and participated in the filming of The Nelken Line. It was such a pleasure to dance with you all and perform the iconic gestures of "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter" choreographed by Pina Bausch in 1982. We will be sending the film to the Pina Bausch Foundation website for inclusion in The Nelken Line Project soon. #RISECanberra #WhereYouAreFestival #TheNelkenLineProject #PinaBausch #seasons #CBRarts #CBRdance #Canberra Images: Lorna Sim

01.01.2022 Party Leader Alison Plevey in interview with BMA Magazine on our upcoming performance Lake March "I imagined this concept back Canberras lockdown around April, noticing the increasing popularity and necessary role the Lakes of the ACT had been adopting during this isolating time in providing us a place of solace. This combined with a desire to find a way to bring live performance to the people in a safe way charged my brain with this wacky idea of a danced walk around the l...ake. Over the past weeks I have been working with Alana, the musicians and the dance artists to produce, creatively conceive and present this new work amidst challenging times for the arts industry. We feel incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity to perform, where for many across Australia this freedom is no longer. We hope the work brings a spirit of reflection, unity and joy."
