Description
This submission for the National Cultural Policy consultation process has been developed and endorsed by a group of arts leaders with exemplary histories, practices and expertise in Street Dance.Leaders contributing to this Submission:
● Dr Rachael Gunn, Raygun (NSW) [Facilitator]
● Feras Shaheen, Fez (NSW)
● Jo Hyeon Yoon, J1 (NSW)
● Leah Clark, Flix, Elements Collective (QLD)
● David Prakash (VIC)
● Jonathan Homsey (VIC)
The leaders were convened by Critical Path and Dancehouse with the support of the Australia Council for the Arts.
Two digital consultation meetings were held with participants and were facilitated by Dr Rachael Gunn. From these discussions, Rachael Gunn and Claire Hicks (Critical Path) drafted a response which was then endorsed by all participants.
This submission reflects some leaders’ voices from a vibrant and diverse sector within dance and music; Street Dance.
Contributions and recognition of Street Dance artists, forms, organisations, collectives, presentation formats and communities have been mostly absent from state and federal arts policies and funding patterns.
This submission is not a consultation, but instead attempts to forward some urgent and important views from key leaders in the sector in a time-dependent process.
