Overview

If a bit of physical theatre gets your toes tapping, sashay along to the latest offering from award-winning dance theatre makers Force Majeure at the Seymour Centre.

In a double bill masterminded by director Byron Perry, first up is Gogglebox, a nostalgic piece exploring our relationship with the soon-to-be-superseded television. Next is Double Think, embracing opposition in all its manifestations. Performers interact with light and set, staging is crafty and there's bound to be some very playful choreography.

You've never seen dance theatre before? This one-hour show may be the perfect introduction to how expressively our bodies can do the talking for us. Already a fan? Squeeze into the free post-show Q&A between dancer/choreographer Martin del Amo and Byron Perry on Saturday, 24 August. And for the uninitiated, get a little glimpse of what you're in for with this clip of 2011's Melbourne Festival performance of Double Think.
