DRILL performance company inc.

nipaluna/hobart’s YOUTH DANCE COMPANY

Our Vision

Empowering young Tasmanians through creative dance practice to be active and engaged members of the community.

Our Mission

To create meaningful creative experiences through collaboration between professional, emerging, and young artists.

One of Australia’s leading youth dance companies, DRILL supports young people to create ambitious new works of contemporary dance for their community. Based in nipaluna/Hobart, we connect young Tasmanians with inspiring professional and emerging artists through our Junior and Senior Companies and schools-based programs. 

DRILL empowers the next generation of leaders, thinkers, nurturers, and change-makers with a commitment to collaborative creative processes. Our works encourage young people to tell their stories, share their values, and voice their opinions through performance and physical expression. We bring young people together to form a tight-knit community, fostering a space for self-development and discovery built on trust and supported by kindness.

DRILL’s Senior Company (ages 13-25) and Junior Company (ages 9-12) create and perform new work annually and we welcome people with and without dance experience. All DRILL programs have a strong commitment to and focus on the entire wellbeing of the young people involved.
