Four distinctive works. Four independent choreographers. One orbit of contemporary dance.
Australian Dance Theatre, Dancehouse and Sydney Dance Company proudly present ORBIT, bringing four of Australia’s most exciting independent choreographers to audiences in Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne this November.
Featuring Agitato by Jo Lloyd, [GAMEBOY] by Amy Zhang, Future History by Gabrielle Nankivell, and Charcoal by Githabul, Migunberri and Gomeroi choreographer Keia McGrady, ORBIT brings celebrated but rarely seen works from artists at the vanguard of contemporary practice. Together, these works reveal the breadth, invention and vibrant impact of independent contemporary dance in Australia.
ORBIT has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body and delivered in partnership by Australian Dance Theatre, Dancehouse and Sydney Dance Company.

In Partnership with
Dancehouse and Australian Dance Theatre
ORBIT is a new touring initiative designed to launch exceptional independent Australian dance works into the stratosphere.
Led by Dancehouse (VIC), Sydney Dance Company (NSW) and Australian Dance Theatre (SA) and supported by Creative Australia, ORBIT will take pre-existing dance works from each state and take them on tour, with fully supported seasons in-late 2026.
Featuring two festival-style tours of four curated works, ORBIT offers audiences an exhilarating night of contemporary dance while propelling standout creations to new cities, stages, and audiences.
ORBIT is for works that still have something to say. Whether it’s a breakthrough piece that shone too briefly or a signature work ready for rediscovery, ORBIT slingshots these works across the country, giving artists a platform to reach new heights
