Ascent presented by Sydney Dance Company Tickets
About Ascent
Don't miss Sydney Dance Company's smash-hit triple bill Ascent at Arts Centre Melbourne from 29 August - 2 September.
Featuring Antony Hamilton's Helpmann Award-winning Forever & Ever and Melbourne premieres from renowned international choreographers Marina Mascarell and Rafael Bonachela, this is an unmissable experience for any dance lover.
FEATURED WORKS:
I Am-ness | This work calls for the convergence of the moving body and creative mind, charting a world in flux where simplicity dominates, and expectations are subverted.
The Shell, A Ghost, The Host & The Lyrebird | In her first Australian work, Marina Mascarell poses many questions: the body's meaning and its capacity to transform; the relationship with technology, and the connection with nature.
Forever & Ever | Set to a sonically stimulating score by The Presets’ Julian Hamilton, Forever & Ever fuses together a killer mix of dance, techno, high fashion and vivid lighting to hypnotic effect.
