FREERANGE 2010

FREERANGE offers dancers an extraordinary and intensive skills-building experience -- in dancing and dance making -- amongst like-minded young dancers, guided by industry professionals.

FREERANGE 2010 was led by STEPS' Artistic Director Alice Lee Holland and independent Australian dance artist Josh Mu (Shaun Parker Company, Force Majeure, Buzz Dance Theatre).

Alice has been the Artistic Director of STEPS since 2009 and has created a number works for the company including PHOENIX (2010) and moonwebs & scorched thongs (2009). Alice works with a distinctively physical contemporary dance style that focuses on floor work and fearlessness, and incorporates dance theatre to make work about real people and real life.

Josh has been a professional dancer for four years and has worked around the country for companies including Shaun Parker Company, Force Majeure, Buzz Dance Theatre and Perth Theatre Company. As well as being a WAAPA graduate, Josh has a background in hip-hop and break dance, which informs his movement to create a unique and interesting style.

The FREERANGE workshops were divided into two groups, morning (9am -- 12:30pm) and afternoon (1:30pm -- 5pm). Each workshop involved a contemporary dance warm up/technique class, learning movement repertoire choreographed by the mentors as well as creative task work to develop dance-making skills.
