Scripsi Scriptum: Expressions Dance Company

Overview

Expressions Dance Company (Brisbane) and Cathy Sharp Dance Ensemble (Basel, Switzerland) have teamed up for a 60min performance, giving Australians the rare opportunity to experience European-styled contemporary dance at its very best. Inspired by old-fashioned letter writing and modern social networking between dancers from both companies, Scripsi Scriptum is a program of two dance works where the art of communication is questioned.

Following the evolution of communication, conversations and questions are explored uniquely through each company’s own style. Although physically and visually contrasting, refined subtleties link the program and take the audience on a thought-provoking journey.

The show comes to us after a successful opening season at The Roxy Theatre in Basel, Switzerland, where both companies enjoyed standing ovations every night. Each group are highly regarded in their own countries and the fusion of the two is proving to be an incredible success. Described by the European Press as striking, sophisticated, playful, sexy and acrobatic, each company paint imaginative pictures with their own distinctive choreography and unique style.

Come explore the questions of communication and enjoy a completely new fusion of European and Australian styles of contemporary dance through this highly praised program.
