Dance Leads to Chaos
Magan-djin (Brisbane)
Dance Leads to Chaos is an artistic exploration of what it means to have dance restricted, regulated, and removed from our lives. The work gathers inspiration globally from historic bans on dance and artistic expression. Dance Leads To Chaos leans into the recent experience of Australians during the COVID-19 dance restrictions and reminds us that this has happened before to First Nations people, and other cultures around the world. Part dance work, part public service announcement, it creates a space to debrief with audiences and reevaluate the significance of dance.
This new dance/theatre work has been supported for 2 Creative Developments by Metro Arts and premiered its first full iteration in 2025 with the support of Creative Australia, on Saturday 21st June at the Roma Street Parklands Amphitheatre. This project has a multi dimensional cast that includes a creative team, collaborative partners, core cast and community cast. Our collaborative partners include The First Creatives and Let's Go Support Services.
We are currrently now in development for our full production premier and regional tour. Info coming soon!

Community Cast
At the heart of Dance Leads to Chaos is our Community Cast — a large-scale chorus of local participants who co-create and perform alongside our professional artists.
In each full production iteration, community members join us for a series of welcoming, high-energy workshops where we build movement, connection and collective power together. No prior dance experience is needed — just a willingness to move, collaborate and be part of something bigger. Our process is inclusive, accessible and designed for all abilities, creating space for people of all ages, experiences and backgrounds to contribute to a bold, large-scale performance work.
The next full production iteration and regional tour will include new Community Cast opportunities.
