Eight artists and collectives – including Lewis Major, a proud Bungandidj artist with a background in sheep farming and a foreground in experimental dance theatre, and the small-to-medium Gold Coast company The Farm – have been shortlisted for the fourth edition of the biennial Keir Choreographic Award.
Co-presented by the Keir Foundation, Dancehouse, Carriageworks and the Australia Council for the Arts, the winner of the $50,000 cash prize will be chosen by a jury of five internationally renowned contemporary dance leaders.
