Brisbane Festival 2010 presents

First Ritual - Work in Progress performance

An exploration of Ancient and Modern rituals in our own country
22 – 23 September 2010
Performance Space,
Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Arts
 
Brisbane will witness the startling baptism of a new work by Natalie Weir when Expressions Dance Company presents an open rehearsal of First Ritual, a formidable dance creation about the rituals that define us - personal and shared, religious and secular.  
This exclusive insight into the creative process reveals how Natalie and EDC’s six incredible dancers develop a work from a rehearsal idea to a performance.
Be the first to see and discuss this work-in-progress before EDC takes it overseas for development with BeijingDance / LDTX, China’s first independent contemporary dance company. In China it will become the first act in a work based on the two companies’ varied responses to the commonality of ritual across the globe.Read more...
