Content Summary:

Founded in 1981, Tasdance was Australia's first official dance-in-education company, and was commissioned to create access to the arts and conduct workshops and performances in schools, operating with a small ensemble of dancers and teachers. It was originally known as the Tasmanian Dance Company and changed its name to Tasdance in 1987 while under the leadership of founding Artistic Director Jenny Kinder, who served in that position from 1981 to 1994. Jenny Kinder was followed by Karen Pearlman and Richard James Allen 1995-1996, then Annie Greig from 1997 to 2015, and Felicity Bott from 2015 to the present. Link to catalogue record.
