WHAT'S NEW ?
CDT IS MOVING PREMISES!!
Canberra Dance Theatre is moving premises to enable work to start on a new building in our existing location to house our future permanent premises. This means the existing CDT and Food Co-op building will be cut into 6 parts and moved temporarily to Childers Street! Regrettably the final two weeks of term 3 classes have to be suspended. Please read the important details below to find out all the details.
Classes and studio hire: the CDT studio will be unavailable between Sunday 12th September and Thursday 30th September.
Final classes in the current location will be held on Saturday 11th September. We regret there will be no Sunday class and no further classes in weeks 9 and 10 of term 3.
Existing carpark closure: our current adjacent carpark will be closed from the morning of Saturday 4th September. Parking may be found immediately across Barry Drive (you may cross the road at the traffic lights) or elsewhere in the vicinity.
New location from Term 4: CHILDERS STREET, CANBERRA CITY WEST - you will find us to the rear of the carpark next to the Street Theatre.
Term 4 classes recommence: Monday 11 October in the Childers Street location.
No CDT Members Dance Night this term:
As a consequence of the move there will unfortunately be no members performance night this term. However, we will be planning an exciting end of year event to make up for it!
HELP NEEDED PLEASE FOR PACKING AND UNPACKING!
Packing Bee: Sunday 12th September 10am - 1pm. Morning tea and cake provided.
UnPacking Bee: Wednesday 29th September from 5pm. After work snacks provided.
If you can help please contact CDT Company Manager Melinda Spink at dragonspink@live.com or phone 0412 848 331

She is also directing Short and Sweet in Canberra which looks to be very exciting and gives rise to lots of national and international opportunities. Grab her when you can to talk about the season.
