2017 is going to be all about festivals and touring for Townsville-based company Dancenorth. Flying the flag for regional arts, the company will create seven new works, including three international collaborations to be performed in five international arts festivals. A North American tour is also planned.
“We start the year with Spectra at Sydney Festival and are currently working on a main stage work called Attractor in collaboration with Lucy Guerin Inc., Indonesian music duo Senyawa and Gideon Obarzanek,” says Dancenorth artistic director Kyle Page. “Next year we are working on three international collaborations and a major site specific community work with the Urab Dancers from Poruma Island, Torres Strait. There is a great deal of international touring on the horizon, and a major Australian tour of Rainbow Vomit, a work we created earlier this year designed for audiences of all ages.”
