Anything Is Valid Dance Theatre
www.aivdt.com
AIVDT aims to demystify contemporary dance and make it more accessible primarily through performances in public spaces.
Anything Is Valid Dance Theatre was founded in 2006 by a group of dancers who wanted to take contemporary dance out of the theatres and onto the streets with the hope of increasing the audiences for the art form.Inspired by the 'flashmobbing' culture, AIVDT took to the streets with fresh determination to demystify contemporary dance and make it more accessible through performances in public spaces. AIVDT specialises in improvisation, installations and innovative choreography for a found audience. The dancers hope to surprise, intrigue, confuse and inspire those who manage to catch a glimpse of their strange and engaging performances.
AIVDT has performed in and around Perth and Sydney, with notable performances at the Fremantle Festival, and Putting on an Act Best of Gala in 08, Fairbridge Festival and Joondalup Festival. They also undertook a 4 week mentorship and creative development with improvisational artist Jo Pollitt (to whom they are now greatly indebted) taking the Perth CBD by storm with their peripheral Perth Festival event “They’ll Be Dancing In the Streets”.
AIVDT aims to contribute braveness to the world and to keep breathing culture into places where you would least expect it.
