First held in 2014, the biennial Keir Choreographic Award looks to identify and celebrate contemporary choreographic practice in Australia today, while also fostering greater understanding of and literacy in the art form among audience members.
A snapshot of current artistic drives, ideas and concerns, the Award offers eight artists – selected by a jury comprised of high-profile national and international dance identities – the time and space to create and present a fully funded new work, with the winner receiving $30,000.
