Baden Hitchcock is an Indigenous Australian dancer and choreographer living and working in Taipei, Taiwan. He is a descendant from Saibai island, in the Top Western region of the Torres Strait Islands, the Torres Strait treaty village of Mabaduan in Western Province, Papua New Guinea and also from Hanuabada in Central Province.

For the past six years Baden has been a pivotal dance member of Bangarra Dance Theatre, Australia's leading First nation's arts company. With Bangarra he has had the opportunity to perform all over the world including Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, Canada and USA as well as regional and national touring of Australia. In 2015, Baden completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance from Victorian College of the Arts, Melbourne University, where he was awarded the Creative Arts Outstanding Undergraduate Award. While training he worked with choreographers including Antony Hamilton, Lee Serle, Maria Randall, Lina Limosani, Rebecca Hilton, Jacob Boehme, Russell Dumas and Prue Lang.

He has held workshops at many performing art universities of Australia including Victorian College of the Arts, Queensland University of Technology, and Adelaide College of the Arts as well as teaching both cultural and contemporary workshops across the world. He is now based in Taipei, Taiwan where he is working with various Taiwanese indigenous communities to make cultural connections with Australian indigenous culture and learn about the Taiwanese contemporary art landscape. Most recently he premiered his work "stories from the far side of the moon" for the Pulima Arts Festival in Hualien as well as performing in the Taitung Fringe Festival and the Hualien City Space Art Festival.

Baden is interested in what sustainable futures look like in connection to ancient indigenous knowledge systems. Taking inspiration from learning about his mother’s roots his art practise is exploring this relationship between identity, culture and the queer body. He is interested in how art can involve community and at the moment is interested in creating work in relation to do with biodiversity and symbiotic relationships with the land and waterways.
