About Giorgia Schijf
Giorgia Schijf is an emerging contemporary dance artist, graduating from WAAPA in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts (Dance) Honours. She has been developing a practice with an emerging, local percussionist that involves the synthesis of improvised contemporary, dance, live music, and visual art.
In 2021, this practice was developed into a full-length site-specific work called 'Reimagined', which was sponsored by Propel Youth Arts WA and Drug Aware. Giorgia has choreographed and performed in multiple Fringe Festival productions, as well as performances as a part of the renowned Summer Nights programs at The Blue Room Theatre since 2019.
Most recently, Giorgia performed in 'Rite and Revolution' at the Perth Concert Hall, a collaboration between Western Australian Youth Orchestra and renowned Perth choreographer Scott Esltermann as a part of the new 'Merge' initiative.
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.
