Canning World Arts Exchange – Perth, Australia

In 2016 Douglas Dunn invited Andrew Jordan to design some “big costumes” for a tour to Australia.

Douglas Dunn + Dancers traveled to Australia to participate in the Canning World Arts Exchange, a one night, outdoor extravaganza with audience in the thousands. DD+D performed in conjunction and collaboration with Taikoz drummers from Sydney, Link Dancers from Perth, Canning’s own Community Choir, and the featured UNESCO Vietnamese Ede Gong Group.
