Australian Youth Dance Festival |

When: 12 – 19 |
Contact: 9322 6101 |
The 2009 Australian Youth Dance Festival (AYDF) spins into Mandurah, Western Australia from Sunday 12 April – Sunday 19 April.
Over 200 young people aged between 15 and 19 years from throughout Australia will be part of a week of forums, workshops, choreographic activities and performances. The festival is led by a team of professional choreographers, teachers and dancers who will coach the young people in a range of dance styles.
The sixth AYDF is being directed by renowned Australian dance artist Claudia Alessi (nominated three times for an Australian Dance Award!) and has a particular emphasis on physical theatre and outdoor performance. The program not only offers a chance to develop dance technique but also fosters the creative skills important for Australia’s next generation of dance artists.
Alessi has assembled a team of dance leaders, all with international experience, who can offer a challenging program of dance activity. Guest artists include Alexandra Harrison (Legs on the Wall), Marko Panzic (So You Think You Can Dance), Danielle Micich (formerly STEPS Youth Dance), Adam Wheeler (Stompin), Daniel Daw (Restless Dance Co.), Jacob Lehrer (formerly Strange Fruit) and indigenous artist Justina Smith.
AYDF is much more than a 'summer school'. It is a hothouse of creativity, in which, a new, full scale outdoor performance will grow.
