Elevate

Overview

Need a boost? A lift in mood? Something to stimulate your senses? Let Elevate try to help. Yep, its name really is telling.

Fancy footwork and fluid movement can do that, with this trio of contemporary dance works offering all three. And that's not all, of course. Performed by a fresh group of emerging young dance artists, Elevate also boasts energy and passion that's bound to be contagious.

If you're wondering why, it's because Elevate isn't just a dance performance — it's actually a showcase stemming from Metro Arts' Transitions Program. The six-week practical intensive closely replicates the range of activities experienced in a small contemporary company — and boasts the assistance of Sydney-based choreographer Craig Bary, Brisbane's own Prying Eye, and the up-and-coming Sammie Williams — so expect the end result to prove uplifting in a variety of ways.
