Australian Dance Theatre Held HELD is a dance performance about photography, time and perceptions of reality. Embodying the dynamic tension between the action of Garry Stewart's ballistic choreography and its 'fixed' capture by photographer Lois Greenfield, HELD juxtaposes solidity with liquidity, heaviness with lightness, stillness with flow, clarity with illusion into an extraordinary live performance. Using electronic strobes to photograph the dramatic explosions and propulsion which are Garry Stewart's signature kamikaze style, Lois will create the illusion of weightlessness by freezing these dynamic moments at 1/2000 of a second, projected instantaneously, revealing to the audience a moment that exists beneath the threshold of perception.

Australian Dance Theatre Devolution Garry Stewart has built a reputation for pushing dance beyond convention into new, daring realms. In Devolution Garry Stewart collaborates with Canadian multi-disciplinary artist Louis-Philippe Demers and UK video artist Gina Czarnecki to create an unique world the likes of which Australian theatre has never produced before. Situating humans in communion with multiple robotic machines of both large and medium scale, a large scale robotic, kinetic set and lighting design, a multitude of robotic prostheses and ambulating robotic constructs as well as extraordinary video art, Devolution redefines the relationship between machine and body. Filled with symbolism and ritualised process Devolution highlights that for all of our technology we are still primitive, of the flesh and live as instinctive biological beings. Devolution is a radical future vision of Australian dance. Tags: Dance Australia FringeBenefits Fringe |

Australian Dance Theatre Age of Unbeauty The Age Of Unbeauty Pulling no punches, The Age of Unbeauty twists through an avalanche of potent images and unanticipated moments of quiet, sad tenderness and shattering vulnerability. The extraordinary dancers of the Australian Dance Theatre hurl, fly, thrust and recoil, drawing upon their disciplined and extreme training in gymnastics, breakdance and the martial art of Hapkido to bring Stewart's stark and heart rendering vision of a haemorrhaging world reeling under a barrage of violence to the stage. Incredible movement, sound, lighting and lush film effects earnt this work the highest accolades in its work-in-progress season. The Age of Unbeauty is risky, technically demanding dance that is at once wrenching and riveting to watch. The Age of Unbeauty has been seen at the 2002 Adelaide Fringe Festival and the 2003 Melbourne International Festival of Arts. It has won a number of prestigious Australian awards, including: Outstanding Achievement in Choreography, Outstanding Performance by a Company and Outstanding Performance by a Male Dancer at the 2002 Australian Dance Awards and an Adelaide Critics Circle Group Award.
