Experience dance across the city as never before with Dance Massive a two-week showcase featuring outstanding Australian contemporary dance work from both established and emerging companies and choreographers.

From the energetic and playful to the contemplative and intimate, this collection of work is a visually spectacular series of sensory and physical experiences. Comprising a mix of full length and shorter works, the Massive program includes 14 contemporary performances presented over 12 days at three inner-Melbourne venues Arts House, Malthouse Theatre and Dancehouse.

Dance Massive represents a fresh approach towards new and sustainable ways of imagining and realising a concentration of dance programming nationally to benefit the sector and the artists involved while at the same time engaging audiences, in what is arguably the creative epicentre of contemporary dance in Australia.
Melbourne audiences will get a chance to fill their dance card with productions by some of the country s seminal dance figures in Russell Dumas and Helen Herbertson along with the new force of Rogue who burst onto the scene at last year s Next Wave Festival. And if that s not enough, the program also includes established companies such as Chunky Move, Lucy Guerin Inc and Splintergroup.

Dance Massive is presented by Arts House, Malthouse Theatre, Dancehouse in conjunction with Ausdance Victoria and with the support of the Australia Council for the Arts and Arts Victoria.
