Dancing Monsters Community Parade

Bored of being human? Come and try being something else in a parade!

This annual parade is open to all community, and express creative connection with the non-human world: places, animals, trees, or just someone random from your imagination! 

No need to overthink it - just mask your face and/or adorn yourself for the parade. 

Musicians and spectators are also welcome!

We will parade along the Yerta Bulti Port Adelaide River, celebrating the beautiful river and all it’s inhabitants.

“Come as you are – as a musician, or as a monster that protects important places and communities. This Fringe event is an invitation to revel in post-anthropocentric ways of being and a joyous celebration of liminal spaces”.

Katherine Tamiko Arguile - InReview’s 2022 festival season picks

Presented by: Dancing Monsters

Dancing Monsters work with themes of connection/protection, with an emphasis on the joyful, the strange and the festive. We explore the means by which humans can extend into non-human forms, playfully subverting anthropocentric ways of being, to imagine and identify with places and their other inhabitants. Dancing Monsters is a community oriented practice, and open to everyone.
