hotels that charge extra for internet access are perceived as taking advantage of guests , especially given the number of places that offer this service for free .
while consumers use social media to complain about how slow internet connections are at hotels , it is not uncommon for hotel guests to praise hotel brands that are known for fast , reliable internet service .
while complaints about internet fees charged by hotels are common , rolling internet charges into a generic
resort fee
heightens resentment among hotel guests .
loyalty club members have come to expect free internet as a perk at their hotel of choice .
if you book via any channel other than directly through the hotel , call the hotel to confirm your reservation and get the hotel ' s confirmation number for your reservation .
ask the hotel staff if internet is included in the room rate or if there are additional fees so there are no surprises when you check out .
to make the check - in process quick and easy , have your reservation confirmation , credit card and driver ' s license ready . verify that the rate charged is the rate originally quoted .
if you have a problem during your stay , report it to the front desk right away - - the hotel staff can ' t help if they aren ' t aware that there is an issue .
most hotels have established checkout times ranging from 11 a . m . to 2 p . m . if you need additional time , request it in advance ; otherwise , you may be charged an additional fee .

the artistic leadership of the company is now headed by kyle page , who began his professional life in dance with dancenorth in 2005 . working with the company’s newly - appointed , eminent and nationally renowned artistic advisors – prof cheryl stock and bradley chatfield ( former dancenorth rehearsal director and now head of dance with acpa in brisbane ) – the artistic future of the company is extremely exciting .
dancenorth felt strongly that for the project to be truly community - based , it must be owned by that community and the participating groups within it , so although dancenorth initiated the project and chose the site , it was important that the content of the work was determined by the participants themselves , and that they were able to shape and hone the themes that evolved throughout the process .
the announcement comes eight weeks out from the premiere of dancenorth’s new production nowhere fast , choreographed by raewyn’s close friend and fellow new zealander ross mccormack , on 1 - 5 july in townsville .

dancenorth’s first season of 2015 , “thread” , celebrates the company’s 30th anniversary and also marks the debut of incoming artistic director kyle page . “thread” is , therefore , aptly devised to honour the past , the present and also look to the future . the program of three short works by three different choreographers also echoes dancenorth’s aim to provide diversity in its offerings to its audiences , as well as opportunities for an expanded range of artists to create for the company .
although it was not the motivation for the project , the public relations benefits of meet me at kissing point for dancenorth have been enormous . goodwill and respect between the community groups who participated is another noticeable benefit of the project .

fortunately some groups had their own spaces in which to rehearse , such as la luna youth group and the students from both kirwan and pimlico high schools . groups formed especially for the project , such as the musicians ( independent music group ) used either the dancenorth studio or the dancenorth workshop , where they built the enormous and stunningly effective ' musical raft ' from segments of fourteen , 44 gallon drums hung with chimes and other musical paraphernalia . through ' inter - rec ' we were also able to integrate disabled participants into the project .
dancenorth invites you to enter into a space of tangled imagination , where light and sound collide and much more than colour erupts from the darkness . wear your very own pair of kaleidoscopic fireworks glasses and experience the magic and wonder of this mind - blowing interactive dance show .
parallel to this is dancenorth’s education and cultural engagement program , the enrichment projects , which provides the framework for a wide range of reciprocal activities . bound by an overarching ethos of inclusion , each branch of the enrichment projects has been designed to inform , impart and inspire .
over the years townsville’s own professional dance company has given voice to the creativity of numerous artistic voices – many who have gone on to be leaders in the arts . in the company’s long history we are constantly coming across people whose association with dancenorth is recalled with great affection .
dancenorth artistic director kyle page set the challenge for each artist to select sound from the one sound score , create costumes from one pattern , utilise lighting from one design and work to a set duration . it is within these parameters that if _ was _ comes to life .
' dancenorth has supported my work since 2009 , each time hugely different from the last . the current team is quite unique which made this opportunity impossible to miss . their enormous capacity physically and conceptual understanding provokes a huge artistic challenge to anyone’s artistic ideology ' , said ross .

1994 seemed the appropriate year to bring this dream to fruition . it was the 130th birthday of townsville , and the 10th anniversary of dancenorth who wanted to provide a celebratory and participatory performance experience for and with the local community to thank them for their support over the last decade .

the year has also seen increased awareness of the valuable work being generated by regionally - based companies such as merrigong , hothouse , the flying fruit fly circus , norpa and dancenorth , even while those same companies sometimes struggle for attention from their capital city - based peers and media outlets .
this season marks a new direction for dancenorth - with a revitalised structure , five newly recruited dancers all with rich and diverse careers , and page himself , returning after eleven years to where he began his professional career . the excitement was palpable opening night . one can only wish them well .
true to dancenorth’s mission to be a “major champion of the arts in regional north queensland , balancing a dynamic regional presence with a commitment to creating compelling contemporary dance that tours the globe” , the company would appear to be in very capable , motivated and dynamic hands with page at the helm .
in 1985 the company became a fully professional contemporary dance company under the aegis of inaugural artistic director cheryl stock and general manager lorna hempstead . together these two extraordinary women worked tirelessly – with the help of many others in the community – to form the company that we now know as dancenorth .
with northern australia and the pacific rim as a palette from which to create work , dancenorth will connect with , support and drive engaging stories through innovative and creative performances whilst capitalising on all opportunities created over the past few years , in addition to those that raewyn will bring to the company .

the opening work , torrent , is by independent choreographer lisa wilson , who began her career as a dancer at dancenorth . a well - structured piece that develops from solos to duets and ensemble work , it clearly explores connections , both kinetic and elemental , between body , object , light and sound .
jane pirani’s the hollow men draws inspiration from t . s . eliot’s 1925 poem of the same name , reflecting on a traumatised post - war society . it is an evocative and moving work from the former dancenorth artistic director . in five short parts , each corresponds to different selections from the poem .
in april 1993 , the acting general manager of dancenorth at the time , maureen hafner , and i made an initial approach to the townsville city council regarding forming a partnership with them to undertake the project . these initial meetings met with enthusiasm and support from frank hornby , the director of the community and cultural development section of the city council . as a result , the city council and dancenorth applied jointly to the community cultural development board of the australia council for assistance with professional fees for the composer / musical director , the design co - ordinator , administrative co - ordination and for the professional visual artists involved .
a few weeks ago i had the honour of working with the beautifully intelligent @ nadia . milford through a dancenorth residency alongside another creative and inspiring woman , @ rein . takeuchi . as a continuation on nadia ' s work exploring body image perceptions and the aesthetic , cultural and political confines women are faced with , we looked into the jump from when body goes from an interesting , functional thing to be used and praised to something that is so despised by so many of our generation . # idealisjustanidea # dancenorth # townsville # residency # creation # solo # contemporarydance # bodyimage # confinded # naginya _ way # perception

fun times today watching ‘rainbow vomit’ from @ dancenorthaustralia at @ riversideparra a true case of science meeting performance - using diffraction ( in the form of ‘fireworks glasses’ to take all the students watching on a magical dance adventure . # scicomm # sciart # riversideparra # dance # danceperformance # theatre # excursion # rainbowvomit # dancenorth
“we’re also very excited to have gideon obarzanek and lucy guerin collaborating on a work for dancenorth in 2017 – strange attractor , which will be performed with live indonesian music , ” page explains . “this will be a gutteral exploration of sound smashed with movement . it’s going to be a big year for the dancers ! ”
2014 australian dance award nominations include outstanding performance by a company ( abandon ) , outstanding community dance ( shake a leg ) , best female dancer ( alice hinde ) . raewyn is currently creating a new work ‘the inside ' for dancenorth , with new zealanders duncan sarkies ( writer ) and eden mulholland ( composer ) .
“it was an amazing experience to be part of the mofo festival , ” he adds . “the salamanca precinct in hobart is such a hub for artists , so much creative energy , creative people . the vibe there was just amazing . we felt so proud to have been invited to participate during our first year at dancenorth . ”
all of dancenorth ' s equipment and personnel resources were used in the project as well as financial resources which we could ill afford . however , since the amount of money needed was twice what we actually received , it was inevitable that there was some over - run , no matt r how much we pared the budget back .
but then october 2016 sees the company literally take flight , as they head to japan and new york to present spectra . originally an ozasia festival / dancenorth co - production choreographed by page and haines in 2015 , spectra became a collaboration of arts from australia and japan , blending contemporary dance , butoh , live music and visual art .
“i’ll be the facilitator , not the director , ” he explains . “the idea is to share stories , share movements , to have a true exchange . ” for a minimum of two to three weeks each year , the entire dancenorth company will relocate to urab island , followed by the reciprocal exchange of urab dancers coming to townsville .
dancenorth is fast becoming one of australia’s leading contemporary dance companies having presented work under kyle page’s artistic direction since 2015 in over 35 international arts festivals and venues around australia and the world . as a model for making outstanding art in a regional community , dancenorth has received several accolades including the prestigious 2017 sidney myer performing arts group award , australian dance award ( best community dance award ) , greenroom award ( best ensemble if _ was _ ) , two helpmann awards for the mfi commissioned work attractor ( best dance production and best choreography in a ballet , dance or physical theatre production ) and a greenroom award for composition / sound design for attractor , along with numerous other nominations .
also , they spend most of the year unemployed—that is the key thing . the reason those dancenorth dancers can come to strut is that they are under contract for 25 or 30 weeks a year , and then what do they do ? we are part of a national network so that co3 dancers will be going to dancenorth , to expressions in brisbane , to force majeure—some of them are dancing this week with force majeure . of the leading contemporary dance companies in australia , i think there are 13 funded by the australia council , but there are probably another five or six that are not currently funded . the work is shared so that those dancers can have a national level of excellence .

when gavin webber took up the artistic directorship reins between 2005 and 2008 , the company became known as dancenorth and webber’s works were seen throughout australia , south east asia and europe . the company also won great national recognition with awards including a green room award for best dance ensemble for underground ; and a helpmann nomination for webber as a dancer for roadkill .
the concept of celebrating townsville ' s natural beauty and one of its most charming recreational areas through a large - scale community project was at first a personal one—a dream of the artistic director of dancenorth to bring to the public eye the magic that surrounds kissing point ; a magic which so often goes unnoticed even by those who regularly walk or swim there .

industry and dancenorth audiences will have the opportunity to meet incoming artistic director raewyn hill at the company’s third art for art sake installment , the nowhere fast dinner & show on saturday 4 july with tickets from $ 50 . bookings are open now and can be taken online at urltoken , at the company’s venue on the corner of stanley & walker streets or via phone on 07 4772 2549 .
ion centred on an inclusive ethos of shared ownership , collective conscience , support , interconnection and empowerment , dancenorth’s artistic philosophy provides a fertile framework which galvanises the company’s administrative and creative endeavours . artistic director kyle page passionately believes in leveraging his position , networks and connections to create opportunities and support for independent artists , guest collaborators , secondments and company dancers . far from idealistic , dancenorth’s artistic philosophy and its guiding principles are firmly grounded in current research by scientists and artists into the mind / body relationship . the artistic director has established a daily practice for the company dancers , which incorporates several mind / body techniques designed to support the use of a full range of mental , emotional and sensorial processes in dance creation . the aim is to nurture technical virtuosity and thinking capacity in equal measure .
each dancenorth company member also learnt a great deal by having to take responsibility for all aspects of their group—liaising with designers , musicians , myself , the technical and staging crew ; directing the work they evolved with their group ; and staging it in the massive outdoor venue . each and every one established a wonderful rapport with their group and competently supervised all areas of their group ' s requirements .
amber and kyle page , her partner and long - time collaborator , have co - directed three full - length works for dancenorth including syncing feeling , spectra and rainbow vomit . these works have been performed across australia including major international arts festivals - sydney festival , brisbane festival , ozasia festival and mofo . their works have received numerous award nominations from both the helpmann awards and the australian dance awards .

we believe that it is the first time that such a partnership has been funded by the australia council . the townsville city council in turn provided dancenorth with $ 13 , 000 towards the costs of staging the performance—scaffolding and materials , to build the stage and an audience grandstand , cost of the two generators needed to produce enough power , and hire of technical ( sound and light ) equipment needed to run the show .
in the first week of august , groups continued to develop ideas ready for the intensive rehearsal period beginning on sunday 7 august when dancenorth returned home from tour and was able to commit itself full - time to the project . linsey arrived soon after our return to townsville and rehearsals were soon in full swing seven days a week . most groups met twice a week for rehearsals , usually one evening and one day during the weekend .
the crew , led by dancenorth ' s production manager , rick heath and stage manager , angela winters , with the project ' s technical co - ordinator , bernd neumann and sound engineer , paul scully , worked tirelessly all week with set - up , technical and dress rehearsals going into the early hours of the morning monday , tuesday and wednesday of the performance week , and a massive bump - out on the saturday until 5am .
