Are you a curator, dancer, drummer or choreographer with a knack for blending beats with movement? 

FUSE – the City of Darebin’s contemporary, multi-arts festival – invites expressions of interest from curators, artists or artist groups to join us for Rhythm & Dance, a roaring, collaborative performance held during Out of the Park Picnic, the opening event of FUSE Autumn 2023.

We want your energy, colours, fabulousness, beats and moves to coalesce into an explosion of sound and movement.

We’re looking for drummers, percussionists, street performers, flagbearers, clapstick players, ribbon twirlers, soloists, ensembles, ringleaders, musicians and enthusiasts to join in the community fun as part of Rhythm & Dance.

You can bring an instrument, but it's not essential. Just bring yourself and your costume.  

All levels are welcome, from beginner to expert.
