The Sydney Dance Company has its origins in a company founded by dancer Suzanne Musitz. In the early 1970s, the company acquired a new name- The Dance Company of New South Wales. In 1976, 26 year old Australian choreographer, Graeme Murphy, was appointed as artistic director, alongside dancer Janet Vernon, as associate director. Together, they changed the face of Australian dance. Soon the company was recognised as one of Australia's most influential arts organisations. In 1979 it was re-christened as the Sydney Dance Company.
The Company tours regularly in Australia and all over the world. It has performed in 100 cities in 22 countries.
Its repertoire includes 26 full length productions. many of the works feature commissioned scores by Australian composers and several of the works from the current touring repertoire feature live music performances.
