TASDANCE and GUTS Dance present

Launnie Can Dance

In its inaugural year, 150 incredible young dancers from across Launceston’s northern suburbs have come together with Tasdance and their team of collaborators from the island and beyond to bring you LAUNNIE CAN DANCE - FUTURE.

A deep dive questioning when, where and what our future holds, this year’s project illuminates through dance and screen how this place's young people feel about our collective potential futures.

From personal destinies to the fate of the planet, from time travel to cyber cities, and with moments of apocalypse leading to regeneration, LAUNNIE CAN DANCE is an evening full of hope and joy - reminding us of our power to shape the future… from now, and now, and now, and beyond.

LAUNNIE CAN DANCE is generously supported by the City of Launceston, Arts Tasmania, and the RISE fund
