Three ten minute dance works choreographed by Marko Panzic can be performed at your school, festival or event in conjunction with a workshop program. These short burst pieces are highly accessible, fast paced, explosive, loud and exciting.
Marko Panzic has a direct link to youth culture through his collaboration between Hip Hop styles and Contemporary dance and his exposure to popular culture through his appearances as both a contestant and now choreographer for So You Think You Can Dance, Australia.
Young People will be instantly drawn into the energy and dynamism of the works, which will keep them on their toes and eager to learn. The workshop program will provide students with the opportunity to learn some of Marko's funky moves and place them into their own choreography.

Big Stretch
Buzz Dance Theatre will be visiting Jigalong, Warralong, Port Hedland, Newman, Broome and Fitzroy in August with their Big Stretch project.
Artistic Director, Cadi McCarthy, will lead a team of three dancers, a media tutor and a musician on a four week tour of the area. They will be spending a week at Jigalong, a week at Warralong and then spending time in schools in Port Hedland and Newman.
Cadi is looking forward to this year’s visit which is the third that the company has made to the region in this format. The company works with students teaching basic skills in a variety of dance forms; contemporary, hip hop and creative composition. This year the company is bringing a media tutor who will work with some students and make films of the dance. They will learn skills in storytelling through film and will also learn how to edit their pieces. We have a fantastic musician travelling too who will teach drumming, beat boxing and body percussion.
The development of physical expression helps to empower young people and increases self-esteem, confidence and cooperation with others. The Buzz visit allows remote schools to access the skills and experience of our team and develop dance and performance skills in children and young people. Buzz will also be conducting some professional development with teachers.
Buzz Dance Theatre will be holding a free performance of a short work at the Matt Dann Cultural Centre which will be followed by a free workshop for anyone who wants to learn some cool moves and have some fun. The show is at 4.30pm on Saturday 7th August. Everyone is welcome.
