The Earth Beneath our Feet a diverse triple bill involving renowned choreographer Nanette Hassall, the innovative Tanja Liedtke and the ingenious Byron Perry.
Nanette Hassall is a significant force in contemporary dance. The remounting of her work As The Crow Flies is an important acknowledgement of the influence Nanette has had in shaping the choreographic sensibility of many of today's leading choreographers. A complex and engaging work; As the Crow Flies was first performed by Danceworks in London 1988.
Choreographer Tanja Liedtke's piece titled Always Building explores our personal journeys and the ebb and flow of relationships, careers and bigger issues. A choreographer of growing repute Tanja has performed and choreographed for ADT (Australian Dance Theatre) and London's DV8 Theatre.
Completing the creative trilogy is Byron Perry's A Volume Problem, which extends the company's range and presents another aspect of contemporary dance. Byron has worked with such companies as Chunky Move, Kage Physical Theatre and Force Majeure. The physicality and humour in his work is palpable.
