Tracks Dance Company is located in Garamilla (Darwin) on Gulumerrdjin (Larrakia) Country in the NT and produces original and contemporary dance works that celebrate the place and the people who call the Northern Territory home. A multi-awarded centre of excellence, Tracks is a hub of expertise in community dance built on an extended history of trusted community collaboration. Tracks is an innovator, developing Australian dance that values and utilises a diversity of dance practice.
Tracks Dance Company celebrates the Northern Territory of Australia through: People – their stories, truths and diverse heritage; Place – Darwin with the deserts of Central Australia to the south, and the tropics of South East Asia to the north; Spirit – the vitality of a living culture enriched by traditional and contemporary life.
Bringing people together and adding value to their lives, Tracks offers audiences an opportunity to gain a personal insight into their local world, challenging and exposing them to new experiences – much like the Territory itself.
Enter one of our spectacular outdoor theatres; fashioned from WWII ruins, the canopies of giant rain-trees, rooftop car parks, or a basketball court in a remote desert community. See dancers drawn from the unique cultural mix of people who call the Territory home; from head-spinning breakers and funky contemporary movers to showgirl grannies and ochre painted elders. Sometimes a performance may reflect one central focus such as youth, Indigenous, seniors, or diverse cultures, while at other times Tracks explores the way that diversity sits side by side, and walks hand in hand in our world.
Tracks prides itself on working with local artists and investing in the development and employment of the local arts industry through a broad range of opportunities including choreographic development programs, studio residencies and showings, training, mentoring, volunteerism, community performances and signature dance productions.
