We’re excited to kick off 2026 by welcoming Feras Shaheen to Launceston as our first artist in residence for the year!
Over the coming month, Feras will work with the northern arts community, sparking vital conversations and activating dance as a powerful space for cultural expression, connection and creative change.
Feras will spend two weeks with Assembly 197 and Tasdance, sharing his practice, collaborating, and shaping new ideas with local artists and community.
