Australian Dance Theatre Presents Ignition 2010: But is it really dance? Aug 18-21
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jul. 14, 2010
As Australians debate in their lounge rooms the latest routines on their favourite dancing show, Australian Dance Theatre's annual Ignition season takes on a new space and audience in 2010 by questioning what is dance and can anyone do it?
Curated by ADT's Artistic Director Garry Stewart, Ignition is a program of new works choreographed and performed by the ADT dancers, in addition to the world premiere of a new work by phenomenal Melbourne based choreographer Antony Hamilton."I am always interested in encouraging vigorous discussion and debate about dance", said Garry Stewart. "By challenging the Ignition choreographers to think beyond their training and experience I want the season to stretch the general concept of what could and should be considered dance."The impressive list of choreographers for Ignition features Australian Dance Theatre's Larissa McGowan, Kimball Wong, Chris Aubrey, Tara Soh and Kyle Page. This will be Adelaide's first opportunity to see the works of some of these choreographers.Ignition 2010 will have five performances in the Space Theatre from August 18 - 21 as well as a one night season in the Murray Bridge Town Hall as part of Ripples Murray Bridge 2010.Venue: Space Theatre, Adelaide Festival Centre
