Co3 2025 SEASON: HONOURING LEGACY. CREATING HISTORY.
As Co3 Contemporary Dance Australia celebrates 10 years on the stage, our season lineup reflects our commitment to inspiring and enriching lives through contemporary dance while honouring legacy and creating history.
IN.HOUSE and IN.RESIDENCE, two facets of the Pathways Program designed to support the artistic exploration of dance makers in the sector, alongside the premiere of Raewyn Hill’s new work, this is a milestone year for Co3.
IN.HOUSE, one of our Pathways initiatives, brings artists directly into Co3’s home in 2025, at the Liberty Theatre, creating the opportunity for choreographic exploration. IN.HOUSE provides time and space for new artistic ideas to develop within the Co3 community. 2025 sees WA dance makers Laura Boynes and Kimberley Parkin sharing the initiative.
Dance into GATHERING.1, an electrifying celebration showcasing the best of WA’s talent. This unforgettable evening brings together works by Mitch Harvey, Logan Ringshaw, Kimberley Parkin, and Artistic Director Raewyn Hill. Join us to experience this immersive night at Liberty Theatre, where audiences and performers connect at eye level. Live soundscapes by award-winning DJ Mowgli and DJ Aslan, and stunning lighting and projections by Mark Haslam, transform the space into a sensory feast. With show activations from LINK Dance Company and themes of unity, ritual, celebration and human connection, GATHERING.1 defines contemporary art in a way only Co3 can.
Performed in collaboration with live music from the ACO Collective spanning 1000 years, costumed by Akira Isogawa Raewyn Hill's IN THE SHADOW OF TIME is a poignant exploration of aging, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. Five dancers move on a rotating stage, echoing the relentless passage of time. Beneath them, a single figure pushes the stage symbolising the quiet support that carries us through life’s challenges. Drawing inspiration from the precision of a Japanese tea ceremony, the work captures the exchange of energy and fleeting truths between people, offering a powerful meditation on human connection and endurance.
