The PH(R)ASE//: initiative is a pilot choreographic project that brings diverse talents together to spark creativity, foster new collaborations, and inspire future projects to revitalise the dance sector in the Northern Rivers region. DONATE NOW!

PH(R)ASE//:1 is the first step in establishing a contemporary dance collective in the Northern Rivers. Independent dance artists will participate in a skills-sharing residency, workshops, a Pitch Lab by Dance Makers Collective (DMC) to showcase new choreographic ideas, and a networking event to foster connections and collaboration.

PH(R)ASE//:1 is a dance residency, new works pitch lab and sector gathering combined.
