Go all in with DMC and help to bring an ambitious new work to the stage at Sydney Festival 2025. With 40+ artists and creatives involved, it’s our biggest yet! Your gift of any size will have a huge impact.
WHAT OUR TARGET IS FOR
This coming January, DMC is presenting its largest-scale performance project ever All In, which engages an incredibly diverse and exciting creative team of more than 40 individual artists and creatives. The scale and impact of this work falls well outside of DMC's capacity to fund it, yet we are steadfast in continuing this work with the momentum we have built and the exciting opportunity to present the work in Sydney Festival.
$15,000 is half of what is needed for us to pay performance fees to all the emerging artists in the premiere season. By supporting this project, you are helping to provide professional development and performance opportunities for the next generation of dance artists.
ABOUT ALL IN
All In celebrates the ubiquitousness of dance across cultures as a community builder and cultural identifier. Dance is everywhere, it brings us together and it signifies our differences. To create All In, DMC teams up with dance leaders from diverse dance backgrounds including: Pepa Molina, award-winning Flamenco dance maker; Peta Strachan, Director of Dharug dancers Jannawi Dance Clan; Vishnu Arunasalam, Director of Agal Bharatnatyam Dance Company; and Azzam Mohamed, crew leader of Riddim Nation. Together, with DMC, we explore through dance what we have in common and what sets us apart.
WHO WE ARE
DMC is the only collective-led dance organisation in Australia and the beating heart of the independent dance community in greater Sydney. From our home on Dharug Nura in Seven Hills, our Artistic Directorate (“The Collective”) co-create opportunities for people from diverse identities, backgrounds, ages and experiences to exchange, bond, and grow, using dance as a medium to build these connections.
In a time of declining health outcomes and increasing social division and isolation, DMC’s work offers an antidote, by inviting people to participate in and witness dance that brings them closer to themselves, their families, their local communities, and to the wider Australian community.
