U>N>I>T>E>D

How do we build audiences for dance? The Asia TOPA premiere season of Chunky Move's visually and aurally spectacular dance work U>N>I>T>E>D wowed audiences, who responded not just with standing ovations at the curtain call, but with cheers and whoops during each show. While the work's scale may make it unfeasible for Chunky Move's first (recent) visit to your venue, U>N>I>T>E>D's fusion of tech, Indonesian techno beats, masterful street dance-infused choreography and sci-fi themes offers entry points for audiences of all stripes. In this Roundtable, using bespoke versions of U>N>I>T>E>D and public programs as examples, we want to hear what might entice your audience to dip their toes in dance, and what scale of offering could work as a first step towards programming more of it in your venue.
