SUPERCELL: Festival of Contemporary Dance Brisbane 2019
Getting stormy on the stage instead of in the sky.
Overview
What do you do when wild weather hits, Brisbanites? Watch the radar to see just when and where it'll strike? Stay glued to your couch? Come up with a new festival of contemporary dance? The latter was Kate Usher and Glyn Roberts's answer in 2017, and after a successful first two outings, their venture is returning for a third time in 2019.
Yes, things are about to get stormy on the stage instead of in the sky again (although, given the time of year, the latter is still likely to happen as well). From March 30 to April 7, SUPERCELL: Festival of Contemporary Dance Brisbane will take over Brisbane Powerhouse and other locations around town for a repeat bout of frenetic footsteps.
Celebrating Queensland's place in the dance world, the festival brings together local and international artists, performances, workshops and conversations. Highlights include the contemplation of time that is Lucy Guerin's Helpmann-winning Split, a night of short works from Hong Kong, and the sci-fi inspired Jupiter Orbiting — as well as a big screen exploration of dance on screen.
