Drawing inspiration from V8 racing, rave culture, love, desire and feminine resilience, INDance 2026 features of four bold independent choreographers shaping contemporary Australian dance today.
INDance returns to the Neilson Studio in 2026 for its fifth year, presenting Emma Harrison's High Octane, Jenni Large's Wet Hard Long, Christopher Gurusamy's 5 Arrows and Oli Mathiesen's The Butterfly Who Flew Into The Rave.
INDance 2026: High Octane
Exploring success, capitalism, class, and material wealth, High Octane takes a visceral look at how these forces shape our identities and bodies.
Hailing from Regional Queensland and New South Wales, Harrison alongside an epic line-up of performers and creatives, delves into the hypermasculine world of V8 racing, channelling her personal experiences into a provocative interrogation of ambition and its price.
With an explosive blend of movement, rev heads, burnouts, rhinestones, music, and early 2000s-inspired visuals, High Octane takes the stage by force. A raw and electrifying reflection on the forces that drive us, High Octane challenges audiences to reconsider their relationship with success, power, and the relentless pursuit of more.
