Christa Moritz is a truly creative dancer, someone that isn’t afraid to draw outside the lines and express things differently through movement. Like her most known and loved dance style which is locking, her energy and vibe looks really happy and carefree. When I first met Christa the way she danced helped me to be more open minded about what you could do with dance. A few years ago though Christa had a stroke, following an automobile accident where she was hospitalised and told she would nev...

If you're ever in Melbourne town he's definitely someone to have a yarn with. Note: Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties there is a short break in the audio around 21 minutes in where the line dropped out and where we had to reconnect.Thanks for tuning in!

Simon is based in Melbourne and first started dancing at clubs in Canada before finding popping and later contemporary dance, 5 rhythms, somatic practises and other dance forms. His approach to his art is very wholistic and in this interview he draws parallels between his spiritual/meditation/yogi practise to his understanding and expression of dance and music. It was great to chat to Simon and understand more about...

Jo Lin is one of the most generous dancers I've met. The way he is able to be present for and give space to another dancer while being attentive, thoughtful and caring is really beautiful to watch. I'd also describe Jo's dance as honest, fun, unexpected and daring. After this interview I discovered that Jo is not only a contact improvisation dancer and improvisational dancer but that he has also been a student and teacher of tai chi before even beginning dance.
