Essentially Dance 08

Back to basics as dancers show off the essentials


QUT's top young dancers will go back to where it all began in Essentially Dance 08, opening on Tuesday (17 June) at Gardens Theatre.

 

With a full-length jazz piece by special guest choreographer Keith Hawley, and two contemporary dance works by QUT's own Shaaron Boughen and Csaba Buday, Essentially Dance 08 focuses on the essence of movement and performance, showcasing the incredible agility and skill of QUT's dance performance and dance in education students.


Final-year dancers will also travel to China's GuangDong Modern Dance Festival to perform these pieces in late July.

How do you survive life in a virtual ghost town without becoming a ghost yourself?

In Thatcher’s Britain, the grey fog of depression invades the working class streets of Lancashire.  Guided by an unscrupulous drunk, the audience embarks on an evening's tour along a scruffy road, atching glimpses of the inhabitants and their seemingly desperate lives.

NB: Road is performed promenade-style, with scenes inside The Loft and outside around the Creative Industries Precinct. Make sure to bring a woolly jumper!
