Week 2 of ‘ORBIT’ offers audiences an “intriguing” (Dance Australia on ‘Charcoal’) and “compelling” (The Saturday Paper on ‘Agitato’) program of dance.

Inspired by the regenerative power of cultural burning, Keia Mcgrady presents ‘Charcoal’, a visceral meditation on Country, lineage and the cycles of rebirth that are held in the land upon which we walk.

‘Agitato’ by Jo Lloyd is a palimpsest of music seen through a contemporaneous mirror, an understanding between women across centuries, made visible and visceral on stage.

With only 4 performances each, you’ll need to get in quick!

Join us for Week 1 of ‘ORBIT’ and experience an “extraordinarily beautiful” evening of dance (Deborah Jones on ‘[ gameboy ]’) .

‘Future History’ connects the personal and universal in a thrilling and urgent exploration of what it means to live here now, then and in the future. Past audiences couldn’t get enough, describing the work as “gutsy and satisfying” as well as, a “beautiful, intense, soulful piece of work”.

A crowd favourite from the 2025 ‘INDance’ program, ‘[ gameboy ]’ returns to the Nielson Studio stage. Amy Zhang brings a fusion of street styles and contemporary to explore the collision between the real and the virtual in a work that is as irreverently fun as it is physically virtuosic.

Experience Gabrielle Nankivell‘s ‘Future History’ and Amy Zhang‘s ‘[ gameboy ]’ for a limited season from November 5 - 7. Explore our full ‘ORBIT’ season. Link in bio 🔗
