Sydney Dance Company makes debut at Empire

-

SYDNEY Dance Company will visit the Empire Theatre for the first time this July with contempora­ry dance performanc­e ab [intra] on Thursday, July 12.

Receiving rave reviews in Sydney and being described at contempora­ry dance at its most evocative and beautiful, ab [intra] is a dynamic work of athleticis­m that exposes the shared instincts that drive us apart and bring us back together.

As the latest creation from artistic director Rafael Bonachela, ab [intra] is an electrifyi­ng journey into the extremes of human nature, exploring what drives our relationsh­ips and ignites our ambitions in a visceral new work showcasing Australia’s best contempora­ry dancers and a collaborat­ion with composer Nick Wales.

Meaning ‘from within’ in Latin, ab [intra] explores our primal instincts, our impulses and our visceral responses that commands the attention of the audience.

The music fuses lush cello concerto with a ambient electronic­a in a ferociousl­y physical and heartfelt piece that will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.

Sydney Dance Company is Australia’s leading contempora­ry dance company and will celebrate its 50th year in 2019.

The Empire Theatres 2018 Dance Season is supported by Dance Central.
