Lake

Overview

Choreographed by Brisbane-based Lisa Wilson, Lake is visually stunning dance theatre, partnered with elemental effects and a free-flowing storyline. Through a powerful combination of dance and water Lake delves into the murky depths of stage production to provide something quite chilling but mostly fascinating.

A usually static stage juxtaposes the free-flowing, near-magical droplets of water with strong and smooth choreography performed by Timothy Ohl and Kristina Chan. The story begins with the couple, lakeside, bickering and splashing, before becoming enveloped in spectacular wrestles, careening each other through both air and water. From the beginning, the vision of Lake is brilliantly bold, and with time develops into something executed with near-perfect precision.

Lake debuted at the Judith Wright Centre in 2012 and will be returning for three must see shows this week. Let this stage show flood you with fascination, drown you in a fluid of modern dance technique, and surprise you through sautees and splashes.
