Gavin Webber

Co-Director, Glass Child

Gavin started dancing late after many lost years spent hitch-hiking, skiing, writing, camping and studying. Eventually he decided to start making art instead and joined Meryl Tankard’s Australian Dance Theatre and following that, Belgian company Ultima Vez. Throughout his career Gavin has worked between Australia and Europe and was Artistic Director of Dancenorth from 2005 to 2009. He took the company from regional Australia to national and international touring and then left for Europe once again to join PVCtanz in Germany. In 2017 he was awarded the Sidney Myer Individual Performing Arts Award, in 2018 The Farm won a Helpmann for TIDE, in 2019 a Drover’s Award for Cockfight and in 2020 an Ausdance award for TIDE. Gavin still writes, camps and studies but the hitch-hiking and skiing is over for the time being at least.
