Sharp Short Dance Set for Riverside Theatres

From 10 to 14 November, visionary and creative dancers and choreographers, aged 21 years and under, will compete in Sharp Short Dance, a dance festival coordinated by FORM Dance Projects at Riverside Theatres.

Sharp Short Dance will showcase short, new and innovative dance works from the dance industry's finest young talent. Dance works will be divided into one of three heats, separated by genre. Selected works will then continue into the final that will be judged by a panel of industry professionals.

From krumping to classical, jazz to contemporary, all participants in Sharp Short Dance will be eligible for the Festival's awards including Most Innovative Choreography, Outstanding Male Performer, Outstanding Female Performer, Solo, Duet and Ensemble Performance and the Audience Choice Award. Finalists are also eligible for industry placements with the prestigious Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Theatre, as well as renowned choreographer Marko Panzic's Dream Dance Company.

Marko Panzic said, "Sharp Short Dance is a spectacular event showcasing up and coming dance talent. The performances will feature a diverse range of dance genres so there is something for everyone. I encourage all to attend the Festival and witness the new generation of dance talent. It will blow you away!"
