About Daisy Sanders
Daisy Sanders is a Boorloo (Perth) based artist, a graduate of WAAPA (2013 BA Dance, 2017 First Class Honours), and a proud company member of Sensorium Theatre. She devises immersive choreographic works and is a rigorous, playful artist working across a variety of roles - performer, creator, director, dramaturg, researcher, teacher, and creative community leader. Most recently Daisy was part of The Last Great Hunt's Gatherer's Collective and performed in Patch’s Lighthouse at Perth Festival. In 2022 she will be part of Contours - a new work dancing songlines through communities in the Gascoyne Region.
Daisy’s lived experience of chronic illness (2015-19) enabled her to generate a unique and enduring dance research approach: she explores sustainability in bodily and social ecologies via a somatic focus on cycles of rest and energy.
About the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival
Presented by Propel Youth Arts WA, the KickstART Festival has been the flagship event of Youth Week WA for 12 years running. KickstART offers over 60 free events - including workshops, talks, performances, mentorships, exhibitions, markets, and other special events - between 8 - 16 April, for young people aged 12-26.
Due to growing concerns about COVID-19 and the anticipated continued spread of Omicron across our communities in Boorloo (Perth) and WA, the Propel team has decided to pivot towards digital and hybrid formats for the delivery of the KickstART Festival this April.
The Youth Week WA KickstART Festival 2022 is presented by Propel Youth Arts WA and is funded by the Government of Western Australia through the Department of Communities and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. KickstART is also supported by Lotterywest, the City of Perth, the City of Stirling, the City of Fremantle, and the City of Vincent.
