what is building momentum?
Building Momentum is a workshop series by FLING designed to meaningfully support artists at all stages of their career into rigorous dance practice. Whether you're an early career or an artist looking to deep dive back into the body after some time away.
This 2 week series in Bega includes intensive movement practice in the studio with leading Australian dance artists and a weekly open studio sharing; inviting artists to practice performing, and welcome locals to see inside the process.
Invest intensively in your dance practice, build collective energy & connection with peers, get to know the practices of acclaimed Australian artists and form lasting relationships with FLING and the artistic team.
Join a small cohort for Building Momentum.
This program is partially subsided by funding from Creative Australia.
*Participating artists can join the program for 1 or 2 weeks.
