Expressions Dance Company, Judith Wright Contemporary Arts Centre and Misinterprotato present
While Others Sleep
At night, behind closed doors… who knows what people become?
Choreographed by Natalie Weir
Music by Misinterprotato
Inventive contemporary dance work and live jazz come together in an open-bar cabaret-seated session that brings hidden lives out from behind closed doors.
Expressions Dance Company teams up with the Judith Wright Centre and renowned local jazz band Misinterprotato to expose the seductive underbelly of Brisbane’s secret night life. Inspired by a book*, by the same title, of contemporary photography authored by Peta Neylan and edited by Naomi Mendoza, the production While Others Sleep explores interior late-night worlds, where hidden identities and complex dualities are let free.
Performed to evocative live jazz, three vignettes of intensely physical and highly emotional contemporary dance unfold in different corners of the theatre, pulling you deeper and deeper into the night.
While Others Sleep is a major production by Expressions Dance Company, Judith Wright Centre and Misinterprotato. The performance marks a significant milestone in the history of Expressions Dance Company and Judith Wright Centre, who are collaborating for the very first time.
