First Nations Dance Program

chloe metcalfe ·

In 2022, we undertook a First Nations Dance Community Consultation with SA-based dance artists, to understand their needs and challenges. This consultation has informed the development of a broader extended program to benefit the First Nations dance community as a whole.

In 2023, we created our First Nations Dance Program supported by BlakDance (QLD) and Australian Dance Theatre, coordinated by proud Ngarrindjeri, Narungga and Kaurna woman Caleena Sansbury, supported by The Mill CEO/Artistic Director.

In 2025, the program continues with the aim to support First Nations dancers and dance groups who reside in South Australia by offering them the following - as identified needs through consultation;

  • Business development skills workshops

  • Residencies at The Mill

  • Culturally safe dance technique classes at The Mill and AC Arts

  • Culturally safe choreography and composition labs at The Mill

Through this program, artists are supported to explore new ideas, interrogate existing work, explore new collaborative relationships, and/or research their movement practice in connection to Country and kin. They are supported to make new work and explore dance practice to develop new or existing ideas or processes and make space for experimentation and culturally engaged collaboration.
