DANCEWORKS: Sydney Contemporary Dance Centre
DANCEWORKS is a Sydney-based contemporary dance centre which aims to bring together dance performance, training and development spaces in one all inclusive facility. The centre serves to nurture, educate, equip and provide a platform for emerging dancers and choreographers while also acting as an ambassador for contemporary dance by making an effort to demystify dance and present it as an approachable, accessible and relevant art form in today’s society.
The philosophy of Danceworks is to promote dance as: a bridge to understanding and acceptance in society, a celebration of individuality and diversity; and as an instrument for expression and holistic well-being.
The overall design of the centre draws inspiration from the delicate balance between the eclectic movement and distinguished stillness in contemporary dance. By exploring the relationships between the moving and the still, the lived and the sensed, Danceworks strives to complement rather than compete with the myriad activities taking place within the centre in order to truly express the language of dance through the poetics of space.
