Australian Dance Awards 2009

Last year Dianne Heywood-Smith and David Backler from Sidewalktango participated in a contemporary dance project “Girls on Boys”, produced by Dancehouse Theatre, Carlton. The season was a sell out success and the show has been nominated for an award in the catagory : “Outstanding Achievement in Independent Dance”, in the 2009 Australian Dance Awards.

Five female choreographers each created a solo dance for a male dancer. Performed in the round, this vibrant collection consists of a diverse and surprising combination of dance forms and content.
An autonomously created cohesive musical composition overlays the five individual works and was presented to the performances for the first time on the eve before opening night.
