The Yard at Lismore City Hall

"Drawing inspiration from William Golding’s Lord Of The Flies and its analysis of human behaviour, The Yard takes these themes and breathes new life into them by way of the Australian school yard, ultimately finding unity in the diversity of culture, gender and ethnicity that pulsate ‘in the yard’.

Taut with tension and humour of conflicts played out every day, the work celebrates the extraordinary in the ordinary. The Yard fuses hard hitting contemporary dance with break dance, locking, shuffling, popping, tutting, krumping, and jerking; all new forms of dance found on the streets and school yards of Western Sydney."
