"I had an amazing week and I learnt so much about my own practice. I really appreciated the relaxed, open, respectful environment and felt comfortable attempting everything that was asked of us."

'One of the best triple bills I have seen this year. It was so wonderful to witness not only the artistry of the performers but also the imagination behind all of the pieces. Imagination is what excites  me in art.  This Out Of The Studio left me wanting more for all the good reasons. Bravo! "

As an artist these opportunities just don't come along very often, where you are provided with a high-level platform to truly experiment and present new and adventurous work.

We need more programs like this one! 

In a crowded arts landscape, I was not familiar with DirtyFeet, but after seeing a show, I get it.

It’s something that needs to be experienced…To leave your preconceptions at the door and let these artists speak to you through their body. It was mesmerising.

If we are serious about access and inclusion in the Australian arts, DirtyFeet is truly paving the way with authenticity and integrity. 

"Thank you for a wonderful year of exploration with DirtyFeet last year! Reflecting back it was such an awesome experience. It has given me that extra confidence to create myself and to meet such amazing and talented people with interesting ideas, was very inspiring."

'I think the Choreographic Lab program is incredible, and has clearly been fitted to understand the needs of independent artists along the years it has been running. I felt incredibly supported by the DirtyFeet team at every step.'

"I think organisations like DirtyFeet are a great example of including people with disability in the arts. They bring people together to have fun, learn new skills, are included, and there is a range of diversity."

"The heart of The Right Foot is so open and generous, as all of DirtyFeet programs are,” she says. “But I really love how each year there are new and familiar faces and an openness to communication, expression and connections."

“Love the professional creative approach. Always a lovely experience for our

adult children in all aspects of development. Mostly as a parent these workshops allow us to see our children happily engaged and competent independently. A rare and valued opportunity. So much respect for everyone and the thoughtfulness put into planning. Enormously comforting for parents to feel confident that our children are in very good hands.”
