Restless Dance company fighting for its life after funding loss shock
For dancer Michael Noble, the Restless Dance company is his life and he can’t imagine a future without it.
Key points:
- Restless Dance was a shock omission from Australia Council funding this year
- The company features performing artists with and without disability
- Several dancers said the company was an important part of their lives
“Everyone loves the shows, so I think Adelaide or even the world stage itself would be missing out if Restless wasn’t around any more,” he said during a break in rehearsal.
He described Restless Dance as his lifeblood.
“It’s a great significant help for my mental health.”
The company, which features dancers with and without disabilities, is facing a budget black hole and its future is clouded beyond this year.
