Q - Can you share the story behind Golden Thursdays? How did the ensemble come together, and what sparked the desire to create a company centred on neurodivergent choreographic voices?
A - Golden Thursdays began from a shared desire by Alice, Max and Bryn to develop their own contemporary dance practices on their own terms. They invited Stuart and me to be what we have called Creative Catalysts—essentially, collaborators who dance alongside them, help refine ideas, and support their artistic independence without directing it, which enables each artists’ choreographic voice to develop in a shared practice. In early 2023 we began gathering in community halls before eventually establishing our studio in North Lismore. Associate ensemble members Freya Toussaint and Sinead Skorka-Brennan, both Brisbane based, regularly join this work.
Our weekly Thursday Lab is the anchor of GT: a space for experimentation, conversation, exchange and discovery. When Max called it “Golden Thursdays,” it stuck, and we have unfolded from there.
