Introducing our first Immerse Lab artist for 2023 𝐀𝐦𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐇𝐞𝐩𝐢!

Immerse is an initiative of Australian Dance Party and @ql2dance. Each lab enables an environment for professional dance artists to explore, test and discover, to connect and network, and to explore new ways of working/moving. The aim is to dig a little deeper into a process or approach, extending the creative curiosities and physical development of movers and makers in the ACT.

We’re hanging aboat waiting for 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚 to start this weekend!
You might have some wind swept hair after 2 boat cruises, but not to worry, that’s just water under the bridge.
You’ve also got a walking tour, and live dance and music performances that are a whale of a good time.
If that’s not enough, maybe you’ll get a second wind when looking through the @portraitau or the @nationalmuseumofaustralia!
Something smell fishy about all this? Well, that’s lunch of course! Provided by @watersedge_canberra, taste delicious local food and wine (though please, no leeks on the boat).
