Graceful way to take a journey

TASMANIA’s travelling art festival Ten Days on the Island comes to Hobart this weekend, bringing with it the mesmerising dance performance, Dust.

A study of human potential through contemporary dance, Dust is the creation of Townsville-based dance Company, Dancenorth.

Led by artistic director Kyle Page and set to the haunting live violin playing of Canada’s Jessica Moss, Dust offers Tasmanian audiences an intensely physical journey into the lottery of birth. It explores how our backgrounds shape our responses to the challenges and chances of life.

Audiences are invited to surrender to this trancelike and audacious performance with dancers at the very top of their game.

This performance is played out against a beautifully designed and ever-transforming set from Tasmania’s own Liminal Spaces.

Liminal is a creative and collaborative Hobart-based architecture and design practice.

Underpinning Liminal’s work is the view that the quality of the environment we operate in and its connectedness to place and people stimulates creativity and affects our desire to inhabit those places.

Dust will be presented at the Don Bosco Creative Arts Centre at Glenorchy from 7pm tomorrow, from 2pm on Saturday, and at 7pm on Sunday. Tickets are from $44-$59.
