Our People

Louis Frere-Harvey

Louis combines his training in percussion, his passion for electronic dance music and his understanding of movement, to create energetically percussive compositions, uncovering the origins of rhythm within the body and its relationship to the music.

Following a decade of touring Aus, NZ and North America as a DJ under internationally acclaimed Command Q, Louis began working as a freelance composer, collaborating across the mediums of dance and theatre.

Louis has collaborated with multiple award winning companies, directors and independent Choreographers, such as Queensland Ballet, Milwaukee Ballet, St Gallen Dance Company, Australasian Dance Collective, Scott Elstermann & Venice Biennale, Brooke Leeder & PERTH FESTIVAL, The Last GreatHunt, Izzac Carroll & Project Animo, STOMPIN & Ten Days on the Island, Sally Richardson (Eclipse) & NICA, and Mitchell Harvey Company.

Louis was the recipient of Minderoo Foundation’s inaugural Artist Fund, as well as involvement in STRUT Dance’s SEED residency and SITU-8 programs, TasDance’s AIR with Robert Tinning, and was awarded a 2022 and 2024 Performing Arts WA award for 'Best Composition 2022/24’.
