The Choreographic Lab provides a safe environment where early career professionals can come together to explore their creative practice. The Lab builds relationships between artists, facilitates the development of methodology and skills, and can be the first steps towards the creation of new work.
DirtyFeet provides:
- 2 weeks of studio space at ReadyMade Works, Ultimo NSW;
- A NSW-based mentor to offer guidance;
- Professional photographic documentation;
- Basic film documentation of your showing;
- A small studio sharing hosted by DirtyFeet on the final Friday of your Lab, 5 - 6pm;
- Any number of dance artists via an expression of interest process:
- Administration and management support.
Guidelines/selection criteria:
- The program is aimed at early career choreographers (in their first 5 years of practice);
- The project should be based in contemporary dance practices, and can include collaborations with other disciplines;
- The project can be at any stage of development, but preference is given to research or the creation of new work;
- The artists involved should be NSW-based artists, or artists who have a demonstrated practice in NSW.

READYMADE WORKS
DANCE PIRATE RADIO - A TELEPATHIC DEMOCRACY is an experimental dance practice that questions dance's inherent ephemerality. This project is interested in finding a language in and around dance that ignites a multiplicity of histories and subsequent futures. We will transmit radio for dance/aether dancing.

READYMADE WORKS
A rhythm unique to us all. An unspoken language that ties together all of existence.
It is the “language of the living energy”, or the sound of a hum.
This Earth. That Mountain. You, are here because of it.
I intend on exploring the vibrational connections between ourselves and the universe in which we exist in.
