Tracks Dance Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tracks Dance Theatre is a contemporary dance company based in Darwin, Northern Territory founded in 1994, although its beginnings lie in a community dance program in 1988. It is collocated with the Darwin Theatre Company, Corrugated Iron Youth Theatre and Brown’s Mart Community Arts. Tracks seeks to engage community members in its productions, applying community cultural development practice in their work over many years. It focuses on engaging with Indigenous Australians and their communities.

The company has completed residencies in Lajamanu (1989 and 1990) and continues to work with that community. A seniors dance group the "Grey Panthers" has also been formed.
