Overview
Australasian Dance Collective (ADC) celebrates 40 years of dance with Blue, a triple bill that honours the past, embraces the present, and looks boldly toward the future.
Natalie Weir’s When Time Stops returns to the QPAC stage, capturing the fragility and beauty of life’s pivotal moments. An ethereal voyage of life-changing moments, Weir’s choreography, set to a soul-stirring score by Iain Grandage, will move audiences with its depth of feeling. ADC’s extraordinary dancers will be joined by guest artist Riannon McLean for a truly haunting and poetic performance.
One of Australia’s leading choreographic voices, Melanie Lane, presents her latest creation in collaboration with UK electronic music visionary, Clark. Known for her striking blend of physicality and emotional nuance, Lane’s choreography is masterful and touching in its humanity. Set against a cutting-edge soundscape, this world premiere is sure to captivate and challenge.
Global superstar Hofesh Shechter’s seminal work In your rooms is a visceral exploration of society’s chaotic energy and inner tensions. Shechter’s choreography brings together eight dancers in an electrifying performance, delving into the complexity of our collective existence with unflinching honesty.
Celebrate the marriage between the legacy and the future of ADC with something old, something new and something borrowed.
