SDS1 – Arts House and Mobile States

Overview

Dance meets the world game in a new show at the North Melbourne Town Hall. Presented by Arts House, SDS1 is the latest solo work from former soccer player Ahilan Ratnamohan, one very much inspired by his experiences on the pitch.

Running for just four nights from Wednesday, August 19, to Saturday, August 22, the 55 minute show will draw on the physical, theatrical and psychological elements of the game, focusing on the parallels between sport and dance — the discipline, the focus, the athleticism — in order to delve into the psyche of the player/performer.

The two disciplines might not seem like natural bedfellows at first, but then again, let's face it: no one who's ever watched the World Cup could deny that there's a heavy element of theatre at play.
