EDUCATIONAL / COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

As one of the pioneers of contemporary dance in Australia and the founder of Australian Dance Theatre Elizabeth and the artists of Mirramu Dance Company believe in the importance of preserving a living Australian dance history. Part of the company's repertoire includes some classic contemporary dance works, including some historical works from the early Australian Dance Theatre repertoire (1965 - 1975).
