New Breed

Thanks to free tickets as part of a promotion to spread the word about the access improvements at the Sydney Opera House we attended the afternoon show of new dance pieces at the Playhouse. The new wheelchair location is immeasurably better than the previous arrangement. We stayed for the Q & A with the choreographers. That was interesting.

The show offered the first chance for each of the choreographers to stage a piece at the SOH in front of a live (sold out) audience. All four behaved as if Christmas had come early. I enjoyed the four dances, each quite different from the others (although all of them were fairly muscular and athletic rather than balletic). Slack was the most engaging for me (Spike too) but all four were truly impressive.
