From its humble beginnings as three friends planning a community dance event, Everybody NOW! has grown into a staple of arts on the Gold Coast. The company celebrated its 10-year anniversary last week, launching a program of new events for 2025. Known for its large-scale community works, Everybody Now! has toured many of its works nationwide.

The highlights of the past decade have included cathartic dance installations, seniors performing slam poetry, intergenerational radio stations, roller-skating rock shows, and site-specific performances in aged care facilities, schools, parks and hospitals.
