Dancenorth

As a major champion of the arts in regional North Queensland Dancenorth balances a dynamic regional presence with a commitment to creating compelling contemporary dance that tours the globe.

Led by Artistic Director Kyle Page the Company’s program is designed to support a broad range of artistic practices and diversify performances. Concurrently, the Company advances progressive two-way strategies encompassing reciprocal residencies and community & education programs, in parallel with support for artists & expanded choreographic opportunities. This is at the heart of Dancenorth’s integrated & engaged program which anchors connection to place.

Based on significant scientific developments over the last 15 years Artistic Director Kyle Page has established a daily practice for the company dancers, which incorporates several mind / body techniques designed to develop the cognitive processes associated with creativity. Kyle seeks to involve the dancers in a much more thinking capacity within the creation of new work whilst simultaneously nurturing technical virtuosity. He is currently working with mentor Dr. Scott de la Hunta, exploring the dance / science nexus.
