MAGNIFICATION
In this innovative new work from Australian choreographer Garry Stewart, the inner workings of the body are put under the magnifying glass.
Minute bodily functions such as the growth of cells, the cracking of bones and the stretching of muscles are amplified and explored through inventive choreography and an evocative sound score using Foley sound effects.
Beginning with small detailed movements, the work evolves into acts of highly charged physicality as the dancers discover the unlimited functional capabilities of the human body.
Running time: 15 - 20 minutes

CONTAINER
"I like this 9m x 9m room that was given to me to create my piece; I like its simplicity. Almost no lights and no objects, just the bodies defining and altering space - a place empty of memories and therefore full of possibilities, full of anticipation."
Created in angular patterns, Container drifts from the storm outside into the nest we all seem to long for. It uses space not just as a territory to be claimed but as a place to achieve intimacy.
Running time: 20 minutes
