Don’ts for Dancers

Overview

The Judith Wright Centre has been transformed into the Lonely Hearts Club. A place were love is sought and where love is sometimes never found. The dance floor of the Lonely Hearts Club is the epicentre of a dance, the steps of which are ever explicitly explained but failure to perform them correctly can result is disastrous social consequences.

Don’ts for Dancers is about dance floor etiquette – avoiding the traps and pitfalls of ‘looking for love on the dance floor’. Looks are everything, the way you move is everything, and if you haven’t got that down pat then you haven’t got anything. This is what happens when social cues are taken to their extremes.

Choreographed and produced by Nerida Matthaei, Don’ts for Dancers is ‘a self-help session for the left-footed lonely heart’, head along and see if there is anything you can learn yourself.
