Continuum sweeps across a spectrum of lived experience, from the fleeting beauty of twilight to the elemental force of breath. It is a journey through time and place, where movement echoes with the ebb and flow of life’s narratives. A celebration of the continuous journey of transformation and the subtle forces of nature that connect us all.
An enchanted new world premiere, Spell from Rafael Bonachela will draw upon his signature choreographic style, to explore the limits of emotional and physical expression. To conjure a dynamic sorcery between the quiet and the monumental, the intimate to the expansive.
Tra Mi Dinh exposes the delicate space between day and night in her work Somewhere between ten and fourteen, a fleeting moment of transition where bodies drift and pulse, surrendering to the ever-shifting movement of time and light. An ode to change that captures the transience of life’s continual shifts.
Presented in association with Omega Ensemble, Stephen Page’s choreography embodies acclaimed Yidaki composer and player, William Barton’s composition, calling out to land, sea, sky, and creature, whilst carefully connecting us all to the spirit of our creation breath. Joining Barton live in performance will be the commissioner of the underlying powerful score – the award-winning Omega Ensemble. Blown gently across the stage, Unungkati Yantatja – one with the other, is a dedication to the force of our earthly breaths, intrinsically connecting us to country, to each other, and the continual rhythm of life.
Approx. 2hr. Incl. 1 20min interval.
