Chunky Move has been at the forefront of Australian contemporary dance for nearly 25 years. Founded by Artistic Director, Gideon Obarzanek in 1995, Chunky Move established itself as one of the country’s most innovative, awarded and internationally recognised performing arts companies.
Chunky Move exists to champion contemporary dance in a performance context, and also to enable broader public engagement through meaningful and robust public program elements.
In 2019, following the Artistic Directorship of internationally acclaimed Dutch Choreographer Anouk van Dijk (2012–2018), the company entered a third chapter transitioning to a vibrant new leadership team of Artistic Director/Co-CEO, Antony Hamilton, Executive Director/Co-CEO Kristy Ayre and Producer, Freya Waterson. In 2020 Chunky Move will celebrate 25 years of making dance that pushes boundaries.
