Motus Collective was formed in 2019 by Adelaide College of the Arts graduates, Zoe Gay and Felicity Boyd. The collective was formed out of a desire to create a sense of community, to foster collaborations, expand performance opportunities, and to create a revenue of exploration and experimentation. Motus Collective began their journey hosting Improvisation and ‘Jam Sessions’, before expanding into the choreographic world conducting residencies through Australian Dance Theatre, The Mill, VitalStatistix and more. With a heavy importance being placed on inter-disciplinary collaboration, Motus Collective have worked extensively within the visual arts world including performing with Tom Borgas and Amber Cronin in ‘HyperObject’, created in Arthur Art Bar’s ‘SA LA LA LAND’ program, worked with Fine Print Magazine in their live response to ‘If the future is to be worth anything’, performed Hiromi Tango’s ‘Brain Flower’ at Splendour in The Grass, and more recently collaborated with eDuard Helmbold in ‘Elegy of The Pale Lion’ for VitalStatistix.
Motus Collective have recently launched our new professional level dance classes! Thursday mornings, 8am – 9:15am at Restless Dance Theatre.
