Tracks welcomes local dance practitioners Bryn Wackett, Anokai Lancaster, Jenelle Saunders and the D*City Rockers as recipients of Tracks 2013 Studio Residency. We also welcome Brisbane based movement collective, Kinetic.

The residencies will develop and support local dance practice by offering opportunities for choreographers and dance artists to work on new contemporary dance ideas through research, development and experimentation.

Bryn will use the residency as an opportunity for exploration to create a selection of short, personal compositions pieces, as well as collaborating with other members of the dance sector.

Anokai will develop ideas towards a new contemporary dance project encompassing emotion through movement. She will draw inspiration from Martha Graham’s practice of producing a dance repertoire which symbolises emotion.

Jenelle will use her time to reinvigorate, create, discover, design and make original dance. She is keen to collaborate with other dancers

The D*City Rockers will both develop their own skills and mentor up and coming youth. Their residency aims to enhance and grow the local hip hop scene.

Kinetic will work with local East Timorese to collaborate and share ideas prior to a  trip to Timor Leste in February 2013, strengthening creative links between Brisbane, Darwin and Timor Leste.

An informal forum and showing will take place in the Tracks Studio on the evening of March 27, 2013
