Overview

As part of this year’s Art & About Festival, the extremely agile members of the innovative Shaun Parker & Company (Happy as Larry, The Yard) will be turning three different Sydney playgrounds into their temporary stages for SPILL.

Treat your inner child to what is guaranteed to be a memorable (and free!) 30 minutes of cutting-edge choreography performed by four very talented people. I mean, come on, when have you ever seen brightly coloured professional dancers leaping, swinging, jumping and rolling their way across swings, seesaws and climbing frames? Even better, this crazy street dance-meets-child's play is accompanied by the intriguing music of Nick Wales.

For a glimpse of what you’re in for, check out this video. And more good news: after every show you can do an audience participation workshop with the performers. So start limbering up now.

SPILL takes place at 10.30 am and 12.30 pm at the following playgrounds:

Victoria Park, 20-23 September
Wentworth Park, 26-30 September
Sydney Park, 4-7 October
