FORM DANCE PROJECTS and RIVERSIDE THEATRES PRESENT
DANCE BITES 2023
BIG DANCE 2.0
Dance Makers Collective
Big Dance 2.0 is a smorgasbord of big ideas in tiny morsels, co-curated, created and performed by the next generation of dance leaders in Sydney.
Ten years ago, a group of ten budding independent dance makers got together and created nine new and exciting short works presented in Dance Bites 2013 by FORM Dance Projects at Riverside Theatres. Explosive dance in tiny bursts, Big Dance in Small Chunks launched Dance Makers Collective, almost 10 years ago to the day, and to celebrate this milestone, we propose a revival of a different kind.
Big Dance 2.0 invites a new cohort of makers to reimagine the task DMC set in 2013, to work together and create a series of brand new short works, as makers, performers, outside eyes and producers.
“…Dance Makers Collective has imagination, thoughtfulness, individuality, performing ability and commitment.” – Jill Sykes, Sydney Morning Herald, of Big Dance in Small Chunks 2013
