The Farm

Gold Coast, QLD

At The Farm, work is made in a collaborative process where everyone brings their expertise without being confined to it. All animals are equal.

 

 

 

The Farm is a small organization based on the Gold Coast, away from the traditional strongholds of contemporary dance and performance. We operate as a collective, with collaborative processes that have been running for 20+ years, based upon intergenerational respect and reciprocity. We are from different backgrounds, ages, genders, sexualities and lived experiences. We work together because we believe that shared knowledge is a powerful tool in creating art that matters, that shakes up our existing systems.

With satellite locations in Perth and Berlin, and a Queensland base that includes a youth ensemble, residency programs and an annual workshop festival, our small org creates a big impact, producing multi-faceted work with a sense of humour that connects to anyone from dance afficionados to theatre virgins.

 

These guys make dance like the Coen brothers make films.

In everything we do, we acknowledge that we live on Aboriginal land and constantly learn from the wisdom of First Peoples.

Where we are and the history that precedes us informs how we work and how we move forward.
