Dance Leads to Chaos is the exploration of what it means and could mean to have dance restricted, limited, or taken away from our lives.

This creative development will engage the community in free and open-to-the-public workshops exploring connecting themes of isolation, restriction, expression and identity. The work gathers inspiration from the COVID-19 dance restrictions of movement in public spaces, venues and entertainment areas. Reflecting on the good, the bad and all of the boogie in between. The Bring A Plate team will then gather for a week of intensive creative development to tease-out, tie-in and learn from all the stories and experiences received.

GET INVOLVED

WORKSHOPS

Join Bring A Plate for a dance class like no other!

All attendees of these workshops are invited to come back for a final group session with the artists on Sunday 6th November at GOMA at 4pm.

SURVEY

The themes gathered from this survey will be used to inform the themes explored in the open community workshops which will then culminate in a local ‘Work In Progress’ performance at Metro Arts Brisbane. They will also be gathered for research to better understand and explore the significance of dance in Australian society and culture. Furthermore, how freedom of movement (dance) in public spaces is important by exploring the consequences and feelings around restricted movement. This research will add to the body of research that has explored historical restrictions of dance in different contexts. By publishing this research, it will be impactful to policymakers when responding to public health emergencies. Specifically for decision making in wellbeing initiatives outside of “sport.”

​To thank you for your time, Bring A Plate will send you a FREE Bring a Plate Dance class voucher. If you would prefer to provide your survey answers via the phone then please see their website for further details.
