AN IMPORTANT UPDATE
HAYO's September 26 Event
We regret to announce that the HAYO Music & Movement Launch originally scheduled for September 26, 2026 in Perth will no longer proceed as planned.
Due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the original program and participating artists, we have made the decision to cancel the September 26 event.
We are currently exploring the possibility of presenting a new HAYO event in Perth on November 22, 2026, with a different program and a new lineup of artists and creative collaborators.
At this stage, the November 22 program is not yet confirmed, so we ask for your patience while we determine the best way forward.

If you have already purchased a ticket or made a payment for the September 26 event, we will contact you directly regarding your payment and available options.
If you had been planning to attend or purchase a ticket, please feel free to stay connected with us for updates regarding our November plans.

Para Isidro
Para Isidro is a Perth-based movement artist, choreographer, educator, and performance coach whose work explores the expressive power of movement as a language for storytelling. As the founder and director of Paradance, she has spent decades training singers, actors, dancers, and performers to develop greater confidence, presence, and authenticity on stage.
Her performance and choreographic work spans musical theatre, contemporary dance, and screen performance, with credits including Rent, Miss Saigon, We Will Rock You, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Chess, The Boy from Oz, Fantasticks, and Once on This Island. She has also taught and lectured at leading institutions including the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Perth's Film and Television Institute, and the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.
Through every performance and workshop, Para invites audiences to experience movement not simply as dance, but as a powerful form of communication, emotion, and human connection.
