Brisbane Powerhouse, Queensland – Sunday July 3rd Set on the grounds of the Brisbane Powerhouse on a beautiful Sunday morning, over 50 dancers varying in age and ability gathered to perform Akram Khan’s choreography created especially for Big Dance 2016. The dancers dressed in reds, whites and blacks and put on an exciting show for onlookers, while giving their best performance for the cameras for footage to be uploaded to the Big Dance UK website and also to be shown at the 2016 Australian Dance Awards. There was much enjoyment to be had on the day and Ausdance QLD, in partnership with the Brisbane Powerhouse and in collaboration with Ausdance NSW, coordinated a vibrant and inclusive event in harmony with the Big Dance mission statement.
