Developed in collaboration with a team of established industry leaders, six members of the Weave Movement Theatre ensemble perform their first-ever stand-alone dance explorations for 2024 Melbourne Fringe Festival audiences. 27 years in the making, The Solos offers Melbourne art lovers a rare opportunity to experience the remarkable artists behind one of Naarm’s most cherished performance groups in their premiere solo performances.

Building from their acclaimed 2023 production Sense of Place, these powerful solo works stem from the individual stories spotlit during that season. Performers Anthony Riddell, David Baker, Emma Norton, Uncle Greg, Janice Florence and Trevor Dunn will come together in exciting partnerships with highly respected artists David Woods, Leesa Nash, Michelle Heaven, Milly Cooper, Peter Fraser, Dale Gorfinkel, Zya Kane, and Tan Kang Wei to hone their craft as soloists, and bring six unique works to the stage. 

Launching in 1997, Weave Movement Theatre are a bold, diverse dance/theatre company made up of disabled and non-disabled performing artists. Committed to providing high level training opportunities and powerful performances, they aim to challenge conventions and subvert audiences’ expectations, paving the way for inclusive practices to become the norm. Making the stage an area for dynamic and exploratory practice - a space to challenge power and celebrate movement.
