SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre

SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre 📍Darwin/Garramilla, Australia
🏠Artist in Residence
🤍 Local youth dance company on a mission to provide a platform for change

Inspire, educate, and develop are the hallmark characteristics of choreographers who have chosen to work with young people to create new performance works that are relevant and meaningful to youth. They are features specific to performances that are dedicated to tackling the hard issues; core concerns of youth that are not conducive to didactic lectures. It is known to be difficult to educate youn

g people about sensitive and relevant issues, such as drink driving. Dance education theatre empowers young people and allows messages to be contextualised and better understood. SLIDE is an independent company that has harnessed this method and has begun exploring the value of utilising dance theatre as an educating device. SLIDE has created TIME - a pivotal and confronting work based on teenage road death and BRAVE a production centred on the cruelty of teenage bullying and the impact on those who are affected.

For 15 years, SLIDE Youth Dance Theatre has created powerful, youth-led performances that spark conversation, connection and change.

Someone Else’s Story is more than a production — it’s an opportunity for young people to explore empathy, identity, relationships and the impact of the stories we tell about others and ourselves.

Your donation helps support the creation of bold new work, professional artist mentorship, rehearsal and production costs, and meaningful creative opportunities for young artists in the Northern Territory.

Every contribution helps young people take up space — on stage and in life.
