It’s April 2023 and there are two major events on the Brisbane horizon: The 2032 Olympic Games … and the 2023 Common People Dance Eisteddfod.

It’s week one of Eisteddfod season and eight mighty teams are beginning to prepare for the 2023 Common People Dance Eisteddfod.

Join your new favourite gonzo journalists, Pia and Adam, as they squeeze into some spandex and embark on some definitely, 100%, very independent reporting.

The teams set their sights on deciding the themes and inspiration for their routine for this year’s Eisteddod. With the trophy in sight, they have begun to look across suburban divides and ask themselves - who is Simply the Best?

The razzle dazzle part of the year has arrived: it's time for costumes! And on our journey to understand the essence of the Common People, surely there’s some clues to be found here.

The routine themes are locked in, the dance moves are *mostly* taking shape, and every last sequin and inch of stretch fabric in the south-east corner has been snapped up to make hundreds of costumes… so our eight mighty teams are feeling prepared for the big day, right…?

Wrong! With four weeks to the 2023 Eisteddfod, the Common People turn their attention to a final detail they hope will take their performances to the next level - props.

It’s the week before the 2023 Common People Dance Eisteddfod and the culmination of six months of intensive training is nearing its climactic peak.

It's in these final days before the Eisteddfod, where the only way out is through, that the Common People discover the stuff that they are made of.
