DANCE RITES 2016/2017 | STRENGTH AND GROWTH

ARROW Collective (Formerly Creative Music Fund) partnership with the Sydney Opera House.

The Dance Rites project is the brainchild of the Sydney Opera House’s Head of Indigenous Programming, Rhoda Roberts, and a significant extension of the Opera House’s commitment to promoting First Nation arts and culture.

NEWS UPDATE 2016

In 2016, Sydney Opera House has committed to stage the second Dance Rites competition finals as part of Homeground on Sunday 09 October 2016.

We are working also to secure Dance Rites’ long-term success, through its own increased investment and through securing the philanthropic support, partnerships, and funding that will take Dance Rites into the future.

In addition to consolidating its extraordinary initial success, and restaging Dance Rites at Homeground, our goal is expand the foundational community consultation process that will allow Dance Rites to mature, develop and achieve truly national scale. In 2016, while continuing to work with East Coast indigenous communities, Rhoda Roberts is also in conversation with communities in Western and South Australia to broaden Dance Rites’ reach, increase engagement and encourage registrations.

ARROW Collective (Formerly Creative Music Fund) is in partnership with the Sydney Opera House on Dance Rites 2016 as it’s Foundation Partner.
