Support Chunky Move
For nearly three decades, Chunky Move has captivated audiences and shaped the future of contemporary dance in our beloved city of Melbourne. As Victoria’s flagship contemporary dance company, we’ve launched the careers of acclaimed artists and brought bold, genre-defying performances to life — work that resonates locally, nationally, and beyond.

But this work can’t happen without you.
Philanthropic support is vital to our sustainability. By donating to Chunky Move, you become part of the story — backing our artists, fuelling creative innovation, and laying a strong foundation for the next generation of dance.
Your support fuels bold new dance — in Victoria and beyond.
