AYO was, after all, another visionary creation of John Bishop,
architect of the Adelaide Festival of Arts and its initial artistic
director three times running.

AWARDS AND TRYOUTS

there are the ADAs – the Australian Dance Awards, which began
informally at the Dancers’ Picnic in Sydney in 1986 and in 1997 became
formalised by Ausdance, the Australian Dance Council.
