KAGE TO BECOME COMPANY IN RESIDENCE AT THE ARTS CENTRE

In a ground-breaking first for both organisations, KAGE will take up the mantle of company-in-residence at the Arts Centre for 2009. The Company will move into the Arts Centre next year as part of an exciting new partnership designed to further develop the city's dynamic small-to-medium performing arts sector.

The Arts Centre is the largest performing arts centre in Australia, attracting more than 2.7m visitors each year. Situated in the heart of Melbourne's cultural precinct, the Arts Centre collaborates with artists, presenters and performing arts organisations to create, facilitate, promote and present world-class programs to appeal to a broad and diverse audience.

As part of KAGE's residency, which is jointly supported by the Arts Centre and Arts Victoria, the partners will offer a new mentoring program called KAGE COACH. Utilising the skills and expertise of KAGE's Creative Directors, Kate Denborough and Gerard Van Dyck, KAGE COACH will offer a select number of emerging, physical performance artists unique coaching opportunities in the ever-expanding area of devising contemporary physical performance. Maximising the skills exchange, KAGE's Producer, Jennifer Barry, will also offer specialist workshops in producing contemporary performance.

During the residency, KAGE will also work on two major new works - Look Right Through Me and Sundowner - which are scheduled to premiere in 2010 and 2011 respectively.
