This experimental dance festival invites dancers across Australia and the Asia-Pacific to discover the unique colour of their movement. 

Ki 氣 involves a dance battle, jam session, masterclass series and a talk with experimental dance leaders across the Asia-Pacific. 

Please note the dance battle and jam session will take place on Saturday 23 May 2026 at a different venue.

In this masterclass, you will be guided through structured improvisation and playful exercises rooted in: waving dance, animation dance, character/entity building, w_acking, krump, isolation, contemporary dance, ballet, Japanese somatic training, surfing, physical theatre and Flood dance.

Rooted in street dance culture, Palette Session is a cross-cultural dance collective based in Seoul and Sydney providing spaces for dancers from all backgrounds to experiment, connect and grow creatively.

Open to movers of all styles and experience levels, you’re invited to move with freedom, curiosity and community.

Supported by Australia-Korea Foundation, Creative Australia and generous donors.
