Caroline Meaden and Alice Dixon joined Pete and Dylan to chat about their upcoming Dance Massive show “Lady Example” Dance Massive is Australia’s largest contemporary dance festival and runs for 2 weeks in Melbourne from 12-24 March 2019. Caroline and Alice have known each other for over 10 years and “Lady Example” has been a labour of love for them and William McBride, taking two and a half years to develop.

With an ensemble of collaborating artists, Lady Example undertakes a deranged and exquisite stock-take of our histories and mythologies to propose a litany of new, glorious, shuddering worlds. Combining contemporary dance and theatre, this shimmering and mischievous performance considers the historical and contemporary feminine – on our stages, on our screens and in the performance of everyday life – and explores with poignancy and wit the lady examples that made us, and the lady examples we are making still.

Lady Example runs from Tuesday 19 March to Sunday 24 March 2019 at Meat Market in North Melbourne.
