Australian Dance Week Morning Tea
​​
Our popular networking morning tea is back during Australian Dance Week.
With special guest speaker ACT Public Advocate and Children and Young People Commissioner, Ms Jodie Griffiths-Cook.
​
From 1 August 2024, amendments to the Human Rights Commission Act 2005 make it mandatory for all organisations that provide services for children and young people to commence implementing the ACT Child Safe Standards Scheme. Jodie and her team have been resourced to support organisations to implement the Scheme and will talk with us about what this might look like for organisations like ours. If you have any questions or ideas about what might be useful for you, Jodie and her team would be pleased to hear from you on the day or whenever you might like to contact them.
​
We do hope you can join us.

Dance Film Workshop for Schools with Peng Hsiao-yin (Grace) Dancecology Taiwan
​​We are delighted to present this special workshop specifically for schools with the incredible Peng Hsiao-yin (Grace) from Dancecology Taiwan during 2025 Australian Dance Week.
Self-Portrait of Dance Film
In this workshop, participants will learn how to film an original and creative self-portrait video in the form of dance film: the power of using body language and cinematic skills to express yourself. Through the creative process, Peng Hsiao-yin, will guide the participants to design or choreograph movements and gesture to express themselves, and film the choreography with professional filming techniques.
Students will need to use their own mobile phone in the workshop.
The workshop is suitable for students aged 12-18 years and their teachers.
The workshop fee is subsidised by Ausdance ACT at $25 per student with accompanying teacher for free.
