PROGRAMME A

THE POWER OF PERSPECTIVE- FINLEIGH ZACK DANCE

The Power of Perspective: I, II, III is a three part investigation exploring the perception of different relationships embedded in our life. Each part examines personal purpose and our role in the community, focusing on relationships with self, intimacy, and society to offer a new perspective on our place in the world. Can we unpack the true human experience and analyze our interactions? This piece aims to strike a harmonious balance between self and others, demonstrating how a perspective can transform the perception of an entire body of work. By bridging the gap between these two subjects, this exploration has the potential to redefine how audiences perceive and connect with our community. Ultimately, the piece aims to capture the authentic essence of expression and its profound impact on the human experience.

STASILAND- PREMIER DANCE THEATRE

Stasiland is a dance-theatre piece set in the shredded document ruins of East Germany. Delving into a world of total surveillance where anxiety is the regime we explore the stories of East Germans living under the eye of the Stasi and their informants. We watch as through the reconstruction of documents left in the wake of the police state the characters discover the secrets of their own lives revealing their poignant stories of connection and loss.

Inspired by the book Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall by Anna Funder & designed in the round for audiences in Galleries, Libraries & Theatres.
