Featuring some much-loved local dancers, sites and sounds. Scroll down to uncover the films. Enjoy!

To Sand, 2012

From the lush gardens at Frog’s Hollow, to the shallows and sands at Mindil Beach. This film, as part of the 2012 Choreographic Program unfolds to reveal creatures, moving in banyan trees, on the lawns and around the garden. Each performer designed their own fashion from the Tracks costume room. Drawing on visual trickery, using mirrors and reflected light, this film will take you visually from sunrise to sunset, and inward expression to outward energy! The amazing dancers featured are listed on the Vimeo link once you click through.

Big Dance - Darwin CBD, 2018

Filmed from many fascinating perspectives of the West Lane Carpark in Darwin’s CBD, this version of Big Dance was performed by Tracks Dance Company, made up of a wonderful mass group of young local dance artists, Casuarina Senior College and Darwin High School participants, and the Grey Panthers. Specially mounted for International Dance Day 2018. Big Dance began in the UK and has spread internationally to involve entire global communities, encouraging fun through dance. Choreography by Australian dance artists Frances Rings and Craig Barry.

Aquarium, 2014 

Like fish moving with ease through water, so do the human dancing forms in this film… in and around the incredible venue that is the Aquarium at the Territory Wildlife Park, Berry Springs. With a curious and evocative use of double exposure video and moody backlighting, this dance film by Zoe Scoglio and Jess Devereux is sparkly, shadowy and experimental, with cameos by local fish, turtles and crocs! How precious nature is! Let this film wash over you like a wave, and perhaps inspire some reflection on humankind's relationship to the natural world. As part of the 2014 Choreographic Program, the amazing dancers featured in this video are listed on the Vimeo link once you click through.

Gökotta and a collection of small things, 2019

Gökotta is a Swedish word, which means “to rise at dawn in order to go out and listen to the birds sing” Here is some beautiful documentation footage of a dance experiment choreographed by Seabreeze heros Anokai Susi and Bryn Wackett, performed by Maari Gray, Sheila Rose and CJ Fraser Bell in the 2019 Choreographic Program. Nature mends broken hearts, cluttered minds and troubled souls. An experiment with nature. An immersion, a replacement and a journey.
