August 06, 2026 / Force Majeure

Force Majeure is thrilled to share the appointment of Alice Tauv as Associate Producer.

Alice ‘Arisse’ Tauv (she/they) is a multi-faceted dancer, choreographer, event producer, and curator of TeoChew descent, based on Gadigal Land, Eora Nation. With an 18-year career rooted in street dance, she represents crews Booyakasha and The Slow Jam, and has proudly represented Australia in competitions across New York, Seoul, Taipei, Bali, and Singapore.

Her practice also expands into dance theatre, with credits including residencies with 4A Contemporary Asian Arts and FORM Dance Projects, Cao Fei's My City is Yours at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and Sydney Festival's Sculptured Riddims: Street Fusion.

"I'm so excited to join Force Majeure as Associate Producer. Street dance and Hip Hop culture taught me that great work is built on collaboration, adaptability, and authenticity, values I hope to bring into this role and into everything Force Majeure creates."

Arisse is also President and Co-Director of Destructive Steps Dance Association, and Festival Director of Destructive Steps, Australia's largest street dance festival, now in its 17th year.

Drawing on street dance's core values of collaboration, adaptability, and authenticity, she brings both an artist's and a curator's perspective to her work, connecting dancers, artists, and audiences across Sydney and beyond.

"I've spent years building platforms for street dance artists to be seen and celebrated, and I'm thrilled to bring that same spirit of community and curation to Force Majeure.
What draws me to Force Majeure is its commitment to bold, boundary-pushing work and to the artists who make it. I can't wait to help shape what's next."

Chair of the Force Majeure Board, Julieanne Campbell, said the appointment reflects the company's commitment to deepening its connection with the street dance community: "The Board is delighted to welcome Alice to Force Majeure. Alice brings a deep connection to Australia's street dance and hip hop communities, alongside an extraordinary breadth of experience as an artist, producer and leader.

We know her insight, generosity and strong community relationships will be an invaluable asset as we build on the momentum of the company's new artistic direction."
