Out of Bounds is an exciting choreographic platform for artists to share works in progress with audiences, fellow artists, and peers over a weekend.
Originally devised by Lucy Guerin Inc and Temperance Hall, premiering at Temperance Hall in March 2021, Dancehouse will co-present Out of Bounds 2025 iteration with Lucy Guerin Inc on Saturday 2 & Sunday 4 May 2025.
Curated by Lucy Guerin, Dr Phillip Adams, and Josh Wright, Out of Bounds invites dance artists to share excerpts of up to 10 minutes duration of recent choreographic investigations, experiments, or works-in-progress. Following the sharing, each work will be given space for creative feedback with discussions facilitated by experienced dance practitioners and peers.
Out of Bounds aims to show new work in a raw state—providing a generous, open space for artists to take risks and try out their ideas. Victorian dance artists across all forms, practices, cultures, histories, lineages, styles, disciplines, aesthetics and experimentations are welcome at Out of Bounds.
EOIs are now open and will close at 9am, Wednesday 12 March 2025. Submit EOI here
