Vanessa Marian

With a foundation in Indian classical dance and deep enthusiasm for street dance styles like house and hip hop, Vanessa trained across New York, Paris, Berlin, London, Tokyo, Brazil, India and regional Australia.

In 2016, Vanessa founded Groove Therapy, aimed at making the mental and physical health benefits of street dance dance accessible to all walks of life – at-risk youth, regional Australian communities, people with dementia, newly arrived Australians, and the average person, using the political and healing foundations that these street dance styles are built upon and mindfully re-appropriating it in new marginal communities to help spark global conversation and cross-cultural understanding.

After 30 years of training as a dancer, and 10 years of experience as a movement director in film and TV, Vanessa continues to collaborate on global advertising campaigns across New York, London, and Australia for Nike, Adidas, Apple, MTV, Samsung, Google and Victoria’s Secret. She has also worked in the celebrity sphere with Nicholas Cage, The Avalanches, FKJ, Troye Sivan, Flume, Duckie, Em Rata and The Inspired Unemployed.  

Stefan Hunt

Stefan Hunt is a filmmaker and artist. Through surrealism, mixed media, or genre-blending storytelling, he is interested in exploring life, death and other existential questions.

Stefan’s filmmaking career began in 2006 when he packed his camera, headed to the USA, bought an ice cream truck and drove to all fifty states to make a documentary.

He has since gone on to collaborate with the biggest global brands, directing award winning documentaries, commercials, music videos and short films. Some of his accolades include winning a BAFTA, Webby, 1.4 Gold, Directors Notes Gold, ARIA and Flickerfest, as well as nominations for UKVMA, Raindance and Vimeo: Best of Year. 

In 2017 Stefan launched his most ambitious creative endeavour titled ‘We’re All Going To Die’. This consisted of a published book, short film and sold-out multimedia art festival that has since toured Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The project aims to empower an audience to ‘fear less and live more’ through humour, colour and death. 

When Stefan’s not directing, he draws pictures. His art can be seen everywhere from books to billboards to trams to magazines to clothing ranges.
