Overview

Melbourne's massive celebration of all things contemporary dance is back for 2019. Stomping and shaking its way into venues across the city — including Arts House, Malthouse Theatre and Abbotsford Convent — the latest edition of this biennial dance festival is packed with original performances, talks, installations and even a dance battle. So you better hurry up and get moving.

Running from Tuesday, March 12 to Sunday, March 24, this year's Dance Massive will showcase new works from acclaimed companies and choreographers including Chunky Move, Force Majeure, Stephanie Lake and Lucy Guerin — as well as Indigenous company Marrugeku and many more.

Meanwhile, the Massive++ program features everything from Cinematic Experiments, a multi-media installation combining early film techniques with digital dance choreography, to Sensorial Experiences, a series of workshops that guides audiences through the moves of a dance themselves before they see it performed.
