Australasian Dance Collective

Australasian Dance Collective is one of Australia’s leading contemporary dance companies.

Established in 1984 as Expressions Dance Company by Maggi Sietsma AM, the company has created more than 180 works by 80 national and international choreographers. Harnessing the talent of an extraordinary ensemble of six dancers, the company has achieved significant recognition through national awards, including three Helpmann Awards and three Australian Dance Awards.

Brisbane-based ADC is a significant cultural resource and a leading provider of dance performance and sector development. We recognise the need to be nationally and internationally connected, represented through our diverse range of local and global partnerships.

Our core desire is to harness the power of the collective. Our signature is one of plurality, not a singular fingerprint. In all areas of creation and performance, we work as a collective where like-minded individuals have robust and invigorating conversations that give rise to new dance, to new art.

ADC invests in artists and art and cultivates interdisciplinary collaborations and imaginative partnerships. Through dance, we embrace an intergenerational focus and innovative co-creations – eliciting and presenting these myriad voices and forms to create something never seen before.

ADC promote dance across generations through our Youth Ensemble and Mature Program alongside our Pre-Professional Program launching in 2025.
