OUR VALUES

The infinite artistry of young people

Our offer is unique. Across the breadth of our programs, we engage with children and young people as artists now. We hold space for individual development. We recognise and nurture unique qualities. We offer choice and encourage autonomy – acknowledging every dance journey is unique and personal. We facilitate bespoke journeys across vast, open horizons.

Dance as vital human expression

We come together to dance. Dance unites us energetically and inspires our collective imagination. Our programs span outwards from a vibrant core of joy, creativity and self-expression, to offer multiple and divergent opportunities to dance.

Safe environments yield creative risk and reward

Our staff are broadly experienced and passionately invested. We are committed to transparency through clear and open communication. We co-design project guidelines with young participants to ensure they are democratic, relevant and equitable. With vast experience and knowledge, we hold space professionally so that young people can explore freely, and bravely.

Exploring brave new paths, together

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do - from the studio to the stage to the office. Together – younger and older, emerging and established – we can be fearless, working together in the deep unknown to create big, bold ideas that didn’t exist before. With an unwavering commitment to porous exchange, we learn from each other and grow together, unfolding fresh paths into an exciting future.

New ideas take time and rigour

We are committed to casting wide nets and taking our time to explore. We think expansively and task meticulously. We listen vigilantly, offer generously and take good care of each other, and ourselves. We consider deeply, engage candidly and work hard.
