Which shows were the critics’ favourites in 2018?
The February/March edition of Dance Australia has hit the stands, complete with our annual Critics’ Choice survey.
Each year we invite dance critics from around Australia to join our own team of writers to spill the beans on the standout shows and artists of the year. It comes complete with a selection of beautiful photos of selected works… not to be missed!
