Past Event
Award-winning Restless Dance Theatre is one of Australian dance’s quiet powerhouses, championing self-expression, accessibility, and movement for over three decades.
In this latest work led by artistic director Michelle Ryan, the Adelaide-based company returns to Queen’s Theatre to continue an ongoing exploration of light and darkness, shape and movement, perception and reality.
Part dance performance, part installation art, Shifting Perspectives features the dancers of Restless Dance Theatre performing in conversation with inventive light-and-mirror set pieces from artist Matthew Adey (House of Vnholy). A reality-bending meditation on bodies of light, and the lightness of the body, Shifting Perspectives promises to be another visionary production from one of South Australia’s great artistic innovators.
