Australia Dancing

The Australia Dancing portal, hosted by the National Library of Australia in partnership with key collecting institutions and Ausdance, provides users with access to both current and historical information about dance in Australia.

The primary zone, the directory of resources, describes dance research materials held by the National Library of Australia, the National Film and Sound Archive, and other selected institutions. Some of this material is directly accessible in digital formats, such as digitised pictures. 
 

Chunky Move

Founded by Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek in 1995, Chunky Move has been the state of Victoria’s major contemporary dance company since 1998.
 
Chunky Move’s work constantly seeks to redefine what is or what can be contemporary dance within an ever-evolving Australian culture. The company’s work is both diverse in form and content; to date the Company has created a number of works for the stage, site specific projects in it’s home city of Melbourne, and new-media and installation work.
