Sydney Dance Company is returning to the global stage, in an International Tour unfolding from June through to August.
The ensemble will perform across some of Europe’s major cultural capitals, including Paris, Ljubljana, Helsinki, Spoleto and Athens.
Sydney Dance Company will present a trio of landmark works: ‘Impermanence’, ‘Love Lock’, and ‘Forever & Ever’. This repertoire showcases the company’s bold, choreographic vision, affirming its position as one of the world’s leading contemporary dance ensembles.
Between performances in Paris, Athens, Helsinki and more, Sydney Dance Company will also perform a residency at Orsolina28 in Italy. It’s a prestigious foundation hosting many of the most prominent voices in contemporary dance. This inspiring setting will see Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela begin development on his new creation, ‘Spell’, which will have its world premiere in Sydney later in the year.

“It’s an incredible honour to be invited to perform at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues,” Rafael says. “We are grateful for the opportunity to return to these remarkable stages and to share our work with international audiences. For our dancers, it is especially significant, as they present themselves amongst the very best dancers in their field.”
“These invitations speak to the global recognition of Sydney Dance Company, and I am particularly excited about our creative residency at Orsolina28, where we will begin to develop ‘Spell’, as part of our upcoming triple bill ‘Continuum’.”
