Obverse
by Joe Moran

Commissioned for The Place Prize for dance sponsored by Bloomberg, Obverse is a complex, detailed and choreographically intricate
new trio that tests the remarkable virtuosity of its dancers to visibly transform their state of being, from moment to moment, in both body and thinking. 

Commissioned in 2012 Obverse pursues formalism in choreography to liberate the poetics and immediacy of dance.

Ordinary Courage
by Theo Clinkard

“We are defined by how well we rise after falling”

Theo Clinkard’s rousing new group work for six dancers and live piano brims with visceral and eloquent physicality.

Ordinary Courage follows a community in repair and harnesses the capacity for movement and touch to communicate when words are not enough.

A luminous room lit by Zerlina Hughes and an original score by Alan Stones that incorporates Scarlatti and Bach provide the canvas for breathtaking performances. Clinkard completes an international, seven-strong cast drawn from the likes of Random Dance, Akram Khan, Richard Alston, Siobhan Davies, Sydney Dance Company and Australian Dance Theatre.

To Leap or Skip in an Emotional Manner
by Theo Clinkard

A film about the making of dance.
