MusicDance021 is a platform for the interdisciplinary collaboration of dancers and musicians in performance. The project brings together established and emerging artists in a cutting-edge performance and workshop format. Started in January 2018 by Thalia Laric and Manuela Lucia Tessi at the Theatre Arts Admin Collective, MusicDance021 represents an interdisciplinary dialogue across different performing art forms. It brings dancers and musicians into a shared space to exchange creative practice and refine collaboration skills. It offers audiences insight into the immediacy, fluidity and risk of real-time collaboration, unearthing new directions for performance.
