HOLEANDCORNER
A unique indoor dance event hitting Syd and Melb this June.. HOLEANDCORNER is the combined efforts of touring companies Illusive and Funf, and it's hitting the east side this winter with a line-up that puts the focus on top-quality acts, in an environment that will strive for 'memorable experience' over anything else.
