The foundation of our work is co-creating with communities. Relationships are at the centre of everything we do.
We believe that joyful acts of togetherness, alongside optimistic and artful distribution, can Move Communities to feel more connected, empowered, and valued.
Our work is driven by a desire to bring people together to tell stories; celebrate shared experiences; and optimistically speak of common challenges and concerns. We do this in projects which are centred on the unique lives of a diversity of people, responding to place within specific communities.
What connects all our work to our purpose and vision is Real People, Real Stories – Everybody NOW!
The Inaugural Annual Dance Affair exceeded expectations. The level of community engagement and the professionalism of the team made for an incredible and interactive performance experience.
This project gave me a voice. What a wonderful opportunity for learning new skills and challenging myself to overcome fears.
A huge congrats and a massive thank you. You Should Be Dancing was an absolute success. I have already been asked on (multiple occasions!) when it is coming back! You are a great company to work with.
There’s something quite magical about being in the presence of someone completely connected to the rhythms of their body. The Inaugural Annual Dance Affair is a tribute not just to dance itself, but also to its social and cultural impact.
Thank you for your amazing support, amazing opportunity and unforgettable experience…one that we, especially Davo, will never forget! A watershed moment for our family and a giant leap forward in David’s journey.
I don't even know how to describe it, it's been amazing to have a space to be able to share our experiences & our journey and to be able to see that put into music & then skate to it. It's such an awesome feeling you get!
I can't stop writing - the words just keep coming to me! You don't know yourself what you can do until you participate in a project like this - and that is an important discovery.
Everybody NOW! truly do Move Communities. They consistently find innovative ways to involve people of all ages and backgrounds in empowering, joyous and contemporary experiences that are beautifully crafted and thoroughly artistic.

We are collaborators in community story-telling and local place-making. The community brings the knowledge and the invitation to create. We bring the creative process and form.
We work with an open access, culture of co-creation. Our projects bridge social capital; celebrating difference and amplifying the collective. We invite conversation and practice deep listening.
We treat the stories shared with us with integrity and care. We create democratic and inclusive sites for creativity; prioritising the safety of children and young people, cultural safety and accessibility.
We weave future relevance, opportunities and legacy into the work we produce. We evaluate with rigour and share our expertise, learnings and findings openly, to learn and leave well.
