No Difference is part of commissioning partnership project between The Arts Centre Gold Coast and Dance Integrated Australia which supports the development of inclusive dance theatre practice in Australia.

The Corner Dance Lab 2016 hosted the inaugural Indigenous Residency Scholarship program for two emerging Indigenous artists. Emerging and established artists from the Northern Rivers region, Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Berlin and London contributed to a 10-day program of dance, theatre, digital projections, music, discussions and performance.

Filmed over three years by filmmaker Sam James, Hyperreal Tales is a series of personal narratives from local story tellers and artists who have worked with director/choreographer Philip Channells to produce twelve interweaving stories told through dance, images, words and music.

Riverfilm is a collaboration between filmmaker Sam James and composer James Brown featuring the work of emerging and established artists who attended The Beyond Technique Residency #3 at Bundanon Trust in November 2015.

Hyperreal Tales is part of a suite of projects under the banner of Bundanon Local in which Bundanon Trust initiates original creative interactions between the local community and some of Australia’s leading artists.

Spirits is for Luke Campbell – an emerging artist who attended The Beyond Technique Residency #3 immersive skills development and performance project. The project is part of an ongoing relationship between Dance Integrated Australia and Bundanon Trust and is endorsed by the World Dance Alliance.

The Beyond Technique Residency #3 is a week-long immersive program, focused on developing solo and ensemble practice with emerging and established artists with different physicality, life experience and creative background. Artistic collaborators originate from across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
