REGIONAL YOUTH // PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS // INSPIRING PROJECTS
FLING Physical Theatre respectfully acknowledges the traditional owners of the land on which we live, dance and create, The Djiringanj people, whose custodianship has never been ceded and continues to guide and support our connection to country today. We pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging.
WHO WE ARE
FLING Physical Theatre is a youth dance company based on Djiringanj land within the Yuin Nation, (Bega Valley, NSW). We have been creating inspiring and exceptional work with young people since 2001.
We create works that celebrate the experiences of youth, providing a space for young people to come and explore their identity, creativity, and movement all while being supported by our exceptional staff.
Our core program is the FLING Company with performers aged 14-18, who are involved in the creation and presentation of major projects, which have toured within our region and beyond. FLING also provides two younger company programs YFLING and FLUX Creators for ages 7-14, and delivers broad reaching Community Engagement, Outreach and Education programs.
FLING projects are diverse in content and style, providing a broad range of high quality arts experiences, inspiring and engaging our community as performers, makers and audience. We give voice to regional perspectives, creating culturally ambitious work that is relevant beyond our regional context.
In NSW we are unique, and the only prominent youth company of this size and output in the state. Within the broader national youth arts sector we are one of the ten youth dance organisations working across Australia.

our mission & values
Our mission is to inspire through the creation of contemporary performance.
We are a place of creation and learning. We are all about movement, connection with self and others, and sharing the power of this art.
We are respectful and welcoming of people for who they are right now. In our FLING community we lift each other up to achieve and celebrate personal and professional growth.
Our sights are set on a bright future. We think boldly and take creative risks. Our practice is uniquely centred around hearing the voices of young people as collaborators and co-creators of transformative works.
The creative light of FLING is carried within us and we nurture it in our region. Our contribution is woven into the cultural landscape of our valley and beyond.
