 OUR STORY
A BIT ABOUT

DirtyFeet cultivates creativity among emerging contemporary dance artists with and without disabiliy. The founding members of DirtyFeet met at the Ausdance professional dance classes and decided to put their feet together - to create an initiative that would give independent dance artists access to workspace, opportunities to present new choreography and to promote the role of dance in the wider community. Now driven by Anthea Doropoulos, Sarah-Vyne Vassallo DirtyFeet continues today as a not-for-profit contemporary dance organisation supporting independent emerging dance artists and promoting community engagement in the arts.

Amazing Week!

"I had an amazing week and I learnt so much about my own practice. I really appreciated the relaxed, open, respectful environment and felt comfortable attempting everything that was asked of us."

Kirsty Fromholtz, DirtyFeeter

Out Of The Studio left me wanting more for all the good reasons.

'One of the best triple bills I have seen this year. It was so wonderful to witness not only the artistry of the performers but also the imagination behind all of the pieces. Imagination is what excites  me in art.  This Out Of The Studio left me wanting more for all the good reasons. Bravo! "

Cloe Fournier, Out of the Studio Audience Member 2023

More like this!

As an artist these opportunities just don't come along very often, where you are provided with a high-level platform to truly experiment and present new and adventurous work.

We need more programs like this one! 

Jack Prest, Out of the Studio artist 2023

Something that needs to be experienced…

In a crowded arts landscape, I was not familiar with DirtyFeet, but after seeing a show, I get it.

It’s something that needs to be experienced…To leave your preconceptions at the door and let these artists speak to you through their body. It was mesmerising.

If we are serious about access and inclusion in the Australian arts, DirtyFeet is truly paving the way with authenticity and integrity. 

Elle, Out of the Studio Audience Member 2023

Very Inspiring!

"Thank you for a wonderful year of exploration with DirtyFeet last year! Reflecting back it was such an awesome experience. It has given me that extra confidence to create myself and to meet such amazing and talented people with interesting ideas, was very inspiring."

Natalie Pelarek, Artist Support 

Understanding the needs of independent artists

'I think the Choreographic Lab program is incredible, and has clearly been fitted to understand the needs of independent artists along the years it has been running. I felt incredibly supported by the DirtyFeet team at every step.'

Cassidy McDermont-Smith, Choreographic Lab recipient

Range of Diversity!

"I think organisations like DirtyFeet are a great example of including people with disability in the arts. They bring people together to have fun, learn new skills, are included, and there is a range of diversity."

Chris Bunton, Co-Workshop Lead, The Right Foot

Open and Generous!

"The heart of The Right Foot is so open and generous, as all of DirtyFeet programs are,” she says. “But I really love how each year there are new and familiar faces and an openness to communication, expression and connections."

Brianna Kell, The Right Foot Facilitator

Professional and Creative

“Love the professional creative approach. Always a lovely experience for our

adult children in all aspects of development. Mostly as a parent these workshops allow us to see our children happily engaged and competent independently. A rare and valued opportunity. So much respect for everyone and the thoughtfulness put into planning. Enormously comforting for parents to feel confident that our children are in very good hands.”

Jen Moxham, The Right Foot
