Platforms Youth Company
A platform for young aspiring dancers to experience the professional dance world.
Our Platforms Youth Company was established in 2015 to create a platform for young dancers to experience the professional dance world. We do this by allowing them to gain knowledge and experience about how a professional dance company operates. Aspiring young dancers are supported through a rigorous audition process, which leads to an annual six-month creative development program culminating in a five-show season.
Our Platforms Youth Company is regarded as one of Australia's most successful youth programs because we offer hundreds of young dancers professional performance experience. We also allow emerging choreographers and creative artists to develop their skills. Noteworthy past performance seasons include Dualities (2015), Factions (2016), Chromosome X (2017), Void (2018), Within Us (2019), Desolate (2021), Mother (2021), Monark (2022) and Play (2023).
Platforms Youth Company is an opportunity for young aspiring and technical dancers with a strong sense of performance and contemporary style to work in a professional company environment.
In 2024, Platforms Youth Company dancers will work with Artistic Directors Scott Pokorny and Tim Barnes, guest choreographers Samuel Dominic and Lilly Rose, alongside members from Scimm. Dance Company to produce a performance season.
Our Platforms Youth Company is designed to work around a dancer’s regular studio training. Sessions are held on Sundays throughout the year from January to July and dancers must be available for every rehearsal.
Applicants must be aged between 10 and 19 years of age as of January 1st 2024 to be considered for a position in our Platforms Youth Company for 2024.
