Dancebourne Arts presents Five Elements at Gasworks Arts Park

Dancebourne Arts is proud to perform their highly acclaimed Five Elements programme as part of the Moving Parts Season 2023 at Gasworks Arts Park on Saturday 16 September at 4.30pm & 7.30pm.

Dancebourne Arts Five Elements has been developed and re-sculpted over a three-year period following much deliberation in overseeing a stunning choice of classical and contemporary music (Chopin, Einaldi, Sculthorpe, Debussy, Josh Mitchell & Shorter), and an expressive and reflective style of movement incorporated in the choreography.

Our world, and the matter of which we are, is made up of the five great universal elements: earth, water, fire, air, and void. These five elements and the ongoing fascination and mystery of their co-existing balance is explored and interpreted with breathtaking classical, contemporary and aerial dance responses.

The classical pieces “Air” & “Water” have been choreographed by Luanne Hyson who was professionally trained in New York at the School of American Ballet then went on to dance professionally in companies in Europe. “Air” challenges ideas of willingness and benevolence, while “Water” connects ideas of emotion, defensiveness and adaptability.

“Earth” has been choreographed by Gareth Belling (ex-Queensland Ballet) and a master of contemporary dance (currently undertaking a PHD). “Earth” is inspired by our family roots and connection to the land.

“Fire” has been choreographed by Kathleen Skipp an industry experienced innovator of contact contemporary dance with original music composed for her piece by Australian composer Josh Mitchell. “Fire” counterpoints forms of passion and energy.

Following artistic guidance, “Void” was choreographed by the Australian award-winning Aerial artist Shannon Prickett. “Void” experiments with concepts of power, spontaneity, and creativity.
