“What an awesome experience to judge Fast+Fresh Dance last year. I got to witness so much up and coming young talent. The Fast+Fresh festival is such a great platform, for young emerging dancers and choreographers, especially in Western Sydney. I love the energy and enthusiasm of all the artists and think this is one of FORM’s best programs.” – Marko Panzic, Performance Producer, The Voice 2013 2013 Winners
