Intersections: Street Dance X Theatre

Kinetic Illusions
Inner-West Sydney’s all female power-house street dance crew Oh Sheila transforms the theatre into a complex and multifaceted world, challenging the audience’s understanding of our perceived reality. Inspired by their Asian heritage, the dancers experiment with the playful manipulation of history, time and space and the effects that this has on physical movement and the physical world around us.

“As humans, we exist within space and time, and our experiences of these concepts shape our understanding of the world around us. Our perception of space and time is largely shaped by our physical senses and our ability to perceive the passage of time.” – Beverley Li and Tiffany Nung

Previously developed and presented through Flying Nun at Brand X Sydney and Dancehouse Melbourne.

INTERFLOW
Expanding their work to the performance space, Destructive Steps Dance Association’s INTERFLOW follows the journey of four street dancers of diverse Asian backgrounds as they explore and contemplate the flows within their freestyle-based dance. In play with storytelling, theatrical lighting and a range of music genres, they deconstruct and reconstruct their Hip Hop, Popping and Locking bases alongside the establishing and evolving style of Waving as they seek to find their place between past, present and future.
