MyKids Australia & Myanmar Vision International (MVI) are humanitarian aid organisations that aim to address issues of poverty in Myanmar by providing health and education initiatives to assist children as they grow.  MyKids and MVI worked in partnership with Remnant Dance to facilitate the creation of the Meeting Places dance film as part of a larger cross-cultural and creative conversation.  Edith Cowan University supports Remnant Dance artists through the supervision of research by PhD candidate Lucinda Coleman which has offered stringent ethical accountability for the Meeting Places project, contextualising research into dance-making within an academic frame.

In response to a fragment of text and aroma of wine, six short contemporary dance theatre pieces welcome engagement with others through the collaborative work of visual artists, composers, choreographers and dancers. Audience members are invited to experience viscerally sensory connection through visual, aural and kinaesthetic (wine tasting and responding to site-specific installations) mediums.
