Parkin Projects is driven by the exploration of multidisciplinary approaches to dance. Under the direction of independent artist Kimberley Parkin, this Boorloo based company strives to be a leader in producing accessible and resourceful dance productions whilst closely working with other local artists. Through a project-based approach, the collective forges new pathways and connections within the arts industry by continuous adaptation in each passing performance. The company's focus is on the present. Thus, performances explore concepts which are relevant to the founder’s experience as a young female artist in a Western socio-political backdrop.

 

Parkin’s works delve into the liminal spaces of humanity, highlighting the ridiculous and ambiguous aspects of her surroundings.  The company aims to reinvent unusual dance spaces by curating a palpable atmosphere through stylised design and production choices as it sprinkles pop-cultural references throughout. Parkin Projects seeks to transport the audience and create a cathartic experience that lasts beyond the realms of the performance space.
