What we do

While delivering specialised projects that meet individual needs of the people we work with, our Dance Integrated Australia // Education Team (consisting of highly experienced artists with and without a disability) challenges participants to alter their experience of dance in a creatively empowering, fun and supportive environment.

Reaching out to schools and community groups, mentoring individuals and artists with disability, emerging and established dancers, dance companies and organisations wanting to develop their cultural community development programs, Philip Channells // Dance Integrated Australia work inclusively with the very young to the older generations – including people with sensory and physical impairment or learning difficulties and non-disabled people.
