We3 (When Shall We Three Meet Again?) Is a strategic initiative curated by Brown's Mart, Tracks Dance and Corrugated Iron Youth Arts to discover where we have come from, where we are at and where we want to go. The initial planning session’s have taken place this year between Tracks (Tim Newth & David McMicken), Brown’s Mart (Sean Pardy), Corrugated Iron (Jane Tonkin) and Facilitator - Gillian Harrison. In 2018 artists and arts workers who have worked with the organizations with be invited to participate.

The project was funded as part of Arts NT Strategic Arts Grants with the purpose of ‘Positioning ourselves for the next twenty years as strong and sustainable leaders in the arts and cultural sector’. This initiative is guided by a commitment to share knowledge, break down thinking silos, identify challenges and problems, and forming appropriate and creative solutions.

The Cast and Creative Team were asked a few questions about being a man. Click here to read what they said.

Aged 12 to 70 (something), they will get to show off their stuff in this year’s full length production from August 11th - 20th. Set to perform under the canopy of Frog Hollow’s park trees, Tracks’ all male cast will perform original choreography to ask: ‘what makes a man?’. Led by home grown dancers Josh Mu, Aaron Lim, Jordan Bretherton and Will Nery they will explore four states of manhood – transition from boy to man, the man's ‘prime time’, muscle strength factor and ageing in the skin of men.
