Innovation, originality and energy have been the trademark of Expressions Dance Company since its debut in 1985. Founded under the artistic direction of Maggi Sietsma AM, Expressions is acclaimed for its compelling dance theatre.
Expressions creates works in which speech, dance and visual media combine and confront each other. Radical yet accessible, Expressions pushes the boundaries of dance and theatre, creating meaning with powerful imagery and movement.
Expressions has a program of main stage performances, touring productions in Australia and overseas, schools productions, and school and community dance classes.
The company has achieved national and international recognition through its extensive touring program and has performed at festivals throughout the world.
