Vertical Influences — Le Patin Libre

Overview

Contemporary dance meets figure skating in this critically acclaimed show from Canada's Le Patin Libre. Five skaters will take to the rink at the O'Brien Group Arena (aka that ice skating rink in Docklands), where they'll trade sequinned outfits for streetwear and a pulse-pounding soundtrack. On ice from October 15, Vertical Influences shapes up as one of the most intriguing dance works on the program at this year's Melbourne Festival. Just make sure you bring a coat, because things could get a wee bit chilly.
