Brooke Stamp (b. Parramatta, 1979) is a leading voice in Australian contemporary dance, recognised for her multivalent practice spanning dance, visual art, experimental sound, research, and education. Working between bases of Naarm/Melbourne and the Gold Coast, she interrogates the evolving role of dance in contemporary culture through dynamic explorations of personal, feminist, and collective dance histories. Unfolding across studios, galleries, theatres, and natural environments, Stamp’s work is motivated by a deep enquiry into the body, and the politics of presence – drawing on improvisation to cultivate a distinctive signature of experiential aesthetics and ‘real-time’ choreographies that transcend genre and form. 

Stamp’s early career is distinguished by stand-out performances with leading choreographers including Phillip Adams (BalletLab, 2000–2014), Miguel Gutierrez (NYC), Chunky Move, Shelley Lasica, Rebecca Hilton, and Sandra Parker, among others; earning her multiple Helpmann and Green Room Award nominations for Best Female Performer. In 2005, she was awarded an Australia Council Skills and Development Grant to study in New York, and in 2017 she received the prestigious Australia Council Fellowship for Dance 

Since 2011, Stamp’s practice has been situated within a contemporary visual art discourse. She has contributed performance and choreography to over 30 museum-based works internationally, including at Mori Museum (Tokyo), the 20th Biennale of Sydney, NGA, ACCA, NGV, and AGNSW, with artists including Agatha Gothe-Snape, Sally Smart, Alicia Frankovich, and Maria Hassabi. She maintains an ongoing collaboration as a performer and choreographic assistant with Sydney-born, Berlin-based choreographer Adam Linder, with whom she has performed at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art (Sydney), Serralves Foundation (Porto), Hannah Hoffman Gallery (Los Angeles), Wattis Institute (San Francisco), and the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Moder Art (Luxembourg).   

Recent works include The Line is a Labyrinth (Mickey Reimagined) at PAGEANT (New York); Mickey RISING (Melbourne, 2025); HOTA Gold Coast; Liveworks (Sydney, 2023); For the Record (VCA Art Space, 2023); Psychic Bridge (Praxis Space, LaSalle Galleries, Singapore); Artificial Island (Earl Lu Gallery, Singapore); An Enactment of its Own Poetics (Campbelltown Arts Centre); A Satellite a Letter a Rock a Score (Barco Dance Collection, Sweden/Critical Path); and Pulling Down from the Ephemeral (Folie à Plusieurs & New Museum, New York; and Bombo Headland Geological Site), among others. 

Stamp received a Doctorate from the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Fine Arts and Music in 2024, and a Master of Fine Art from UNSW Art, Design and Architecture in 2017. In 2026, she received the Green Room Award for Outstanding Performer for Mickey(RISING, 2025). In 2025, she was awarded a Creative Australia residency at the Cité internationale des arts, Paris.
