In partnership with Western-Sydney megacrew, The Pioneers, PIONEERS is PYT Fairfield’s new major dance work. 

PIONEERS bring young queer and CALD Western-Sydney artists together to explore dance, activism and identity through the contemporary social, psychological and physical relationships they have with public space. 

PIONEERS is currently in development.
