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.
