Supercell Festival of Contemporary Dance
February 24, 2020 - March 1, 2020
Founded in 2015 by Kate Usher and Glyn Roberts, Supercell Festival of Contemporary Dance is a celebration of people and place through vibrant and exquisite contemporary dance.
Two colleagues who were united by sarcasm and a dry dose of humour, a love for SBS docos and spending time commiserating about Brisbane’s humidity, Kate and Glyn’s professional relationship was cemented at the Atelier for Young Festival Managers in Gwangju, Korea in 2015. A transformative experience which opened their minds to the incredibly valuable function and purpose of festivals, the lifelong learnings of the Atelier inspired them into action.
With the tropical backdrop of Brisbane as the setting for the newly founded festival and a vibrant Queensland dance sector supporting the endeavour, Supercell was launched in the midst of a sweltering summer – a collision of beauty, ferocity, spectacle and rejuvenation.
After the first edition, Glyn took up the helm at Castlemaine State Festival and Kate has continued to be the driving force of Supercell, cultivating international relationships, travelling to world-class festivals for inspiration and consulting with communities and artists.
Kate and the festival team encourage you to embrace the unexpected and the unknown.
