We’re proud supporters of ‘Until Falling Things Work’ by Matthew Morris. Good luck, Matthew, with the final performances. The season is sold out, but we recommend jumping on the waitlist!

Congratulations to STRUT projects Manifest, The Scramble and two thread for clutching a few PAWA Awards last week 🏆

Being a support structure for artists means we often aren’t focused on racking up accolades, but hey… it’s always nice when the artists we support are recognised. A round of applause for Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Otto Pye, The Manifest Ensemble, Shaun Johnston, Luther Wilson, and Karlia & Danni Cook. We’re honoured to be part of these artists’ journey and we can’t wait to see what comes next for them.

Ps, shout out to Karlia & Danni’s Mum for accepting the awards on their behalf 🎉

Cercling back on this mega project with Boris Charmatz | Terrain.

From 16-76 years old, we danced with baristas, lawyers, students, librarians, pilates instructors, surfers, paramedics, designers, installation artists, climate change researchers, gardeners and someone whose dance experience included “embarrassing my friends by dancing at gigs since 2001.”

Here’s to the 150 participants who brought CERCLES to life. Merci!
