PPL PWR
We debuted our first production PPL PWR (People Power), with Anywhere Festival Brisbane 2023. PPL PWR is an immersive work of contemporary dance that explores how we communicate visually, verbally, and physically to form meaningful and impactful connections. Removing the space between seating and stage, the dancers perform for and with the audience to create a three-dimensional production that is intimate and inviting.
Anywhere Festival Award
After completing three successful performances with Anywhere Festival Brisbane, PPL PWR was nominated for and won the 2023 Anywhere Award for Dance and Circus. The awards are based on reviewer, industry and Anywhere Festival team feedback, but most importantly on audience feedback in the voting forms. So we are forever grateful to our audiences and those who voted for and supported us.
