Sydney Dance Company Triple Bill

Overview

Sydney Dance Company is celebrating its 50th anniversary in style — with a 2019 season premiere that sees three of the country's best choreographers on the bill. Following its run in Sydney, this trio of performances will share the stage at Arts Centre Melbourne for a limited time from Wednesday, May 8 to Saturday, May 11.

The show begins with artistic director Rafael Bonachela's world premiere, Cinco. The performance combines the talents of award-winning lighting designer Damien Cooper, fashion designer Bianca Spender and Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera. Five of the city's best dancers will take the stage for the performance, which is set to Alberto Ginastera's 'String Quartet No.2'.

To follow is a premiere of Gabrielle Nankivell's Neon Aether. The immersive experience transports the audience to a celestial world 'beyond the clouds'. Completing the trio is Melanie Lane's WOOF, which first premiered for New Breed 2017 (a Sydney Dance Company and Carriageworks annual initiative showcasing emerging choreographers). It's an eerie performance that combines romantic, classical and pop dance styles with a score composed by renowned British electronic artist Clark.

The Sydney Dance Company Triple Bill will run from Wednesday, May 8 to Saturday, May 11. Tickets start at $30 and can be purchased here. We also have double passes to the preview night to give away. Enter your details below for a chance to win.
