Attractor — Dancenorth / Lucy Guerin Inc / Gideon Obarzanek / Senyawa

Overview

The best dance performances leave audiences with two feelings: a deep appreciation for the artistry on display, and a burning need to tap one's own toes. Usually, however, you have to leave the venue to take care of the latter — but not at Attractor.

A double Helpmann award winner, and a collaboration between Dancenorth, choreographers Lucy Guerin and Gideon Obarzanek, and heavy metal duo Senyawa, Attractor unleashes a trance like dance set to the sounds of the Indonesian rockers, one that proves both primal and ecstatic at once. Then, 15 minutes before the end, it invites you to join in.

Don't worry — if you'd rather just watch, you can stay in your seat, but it's not every day that you get the chance to be part of the show. Those eager to take part need to specify when they're buying their ticket, but get in quick, as there's only 20 spaces available at each performance.
