Trolleys – Art and About

Overview

Turn everything you know about ballet completely on its head. Even then, you probably won't be able to get close to imagining the performance that is Trolleys, a street dance crossed with ballet crossed with public art.

Choreographed by Shaun Parker and Company (who at last year's Art & About took us to the playground with the impressive Spill), Trolleys sees various dancers engage with five shopping trolleys in different locations around the Sydney CBD, enacting stories of love, anarchy and friendship. Using the trolley as a prop/stand-in dance partner, the 20-minute performance promises to push the boundaries of our spatial relationships.

The performance is timed to fit comfortably within your daily lunch break, so look up from your phone screens for a bit and catch this spectacle. To find out where and when Trolleys is on each day, check out the Art & About website.
