Untamed, the Sydney Dance Company's latest performance will have your senses in a bind. A double bill exclusive to Sydney, the exuberant show includes the world premiere of Anima by artistic director Rafael Bonachela and Wildebeest by homegrown star Gabrielle Nankivell.
Anima, a piece that explores matters of the soul and spirit, is a beautiful showcase of Spanish-born Bonachela's award-winning choreography. Vivid dancing is complemented by evocative videography by Clemens Habicht (who's produced video clips for Tame Impala and Flume) and a cello-and-strings concerto by Bulgarian Grammy nominee Dobrinka Tabakova.
Wildebeest, meanwhile, returns to the stage in reworked form after a sold-out premiere season in December 2014. With a moody score by Luke Smiles, the piece — which won Best New Work in the 2014 Dance Australia Critics Survey — is a reflection of our inherent animalistic nature.
So go on, get a little wild and buy tickets to an evening of magnificently delirious dance.
