Dance Hub SA was recently advised that we have been unsuccessful in our application for multi-year funding from Arts SA.  Further, our annual funding has not been re-instated.  Unless the Government reverses this decision Dance Hub SA will close, eliminating our vital support for the independent dance sector.

At risk is not only the mentoring, choreographic and funding support that we have been able to provide, but the vital access to studio time in the Lion Arts Centre.  We believe fundamentally that the wrap around services we have provided (traditionally on a shoe-string budget) have supported the creative incubation of work that is vital for a thriving dance sector.

We are asking you to sign this petition to demonstrate that withdrawing support for Dance Hub SA is striking a blow at the heart of the independent dance sector in South Australia.

We appreciate your assistance and hope that the Government demonstrates it’s understanding of the importance of this vital sector to the State’s arts eco-system by reversing its funding decision.
