The Mill is thrilled to announce Rhianna Dunaiski as the recipient of the 2026 Perth Moves / The Mill Bursary.
This residency is presented in partnership with STRUT Dance (WA), designed to connect and elevate dance-makers across Australia through dedicated professional development. This opportunity encourages national exchange and sector-wide conversation through active participation and visibility.
Rhianna will travel to Perth [Boorloo] in February to attend the Perth Moves Workshop Series, a three-week program of deep-dive workshops with leading figures of the dance world, hosted by STRUT Dance.
The Mill CEO/Artistic Director Katrina Lazaroff will join Rhianna at the end of the festival to support her with additional networking opportunities.
