About
FORCE MAJEURE
Force Majeure creates contemporary performances grounded in hip hop culture and street dance styles. It nurtures choreographic practice through mentorships, labs and performance platforms.
Artist led, the company is embedded in the Australian street dance community through its Artistic Director Nick Power.
With home bases in Newcastle and Sydney and strong links to the Pacific through ongoing projects in Vanuatu and New Caledonia, Force Majeure brings a long term, community driven vision to all its projects.

THE FORCE EFFECT
The Force Effect is a 2024 survey conducted by Force Majeure to better understand our relationship with independent artists and assess our broader impact on the arts sector during Danielle Micich’s 10 year tenure as Artistic Director.
