Australian Choreographer Lina Limosani and Scottish physical theatre director Al Seed plunge audiences into the story of the Fates of Greek mythology. Virtuoso Australian dancers Tara Jade Samaya and Kialea-Nadine Williams join Limosani on stage to play the three Fates who spin, measure, and cut the thread of life, creating an emotionally charged dance-theatre performance that weaves together themes of mortality, free-will, and sisterhood. Through stunning imagery, an immersive original score, dance, and visual theatre, this work is a fiercely dynamic piece, delivered with relentless intensity and athleticism in an exhilarating journey into myth and imagination.
The Spinners was nominated for:
'Total Theatre Award in Dance' @ Edinburgh Fringe Festival
'2019 Made In Adelaide Ruby Award'
Once upon a time… in a faraway land… it happened… did not happen… could have happened. History is passed on like stories from generation to generation. But what if the stories are not what they seem?
This award-winning work is an international collaboration between UK award-winning Bharatanatyam artist Seeta Patel and Australian choreographer Lina Limosani. This work blends techniques from Bharatanatyam, contemporary dance & theatre to create a poetic narrative that has the beauty & disquiet of a Grimm’s fairy-tale. It is a one-woman show which subversively co-opts whitewashing against itself.
Not Today's Yesterday has received:
'Graham Smith Peace Foundation Award' Adelaide Fringe
'Bank SA Best in Dance Award' Adelaide Fringe.
A Delicate Situation is a cross-cultural collaboration between Australia and Malaysia, exploring the universal subject matter of dying, death, and what lies beyond. Drawing on the power of mythology and our ongoing interest in the supernatural, it is the story of a woman’s struggle to come to terms with death whilst surrounded by folklore, myth, and superstition. Utilizing the recurring image from many Asian cultures through the idioms of dance, puppetry, and theatre this work demonstrates the omnipresence of death and death lore across cultures.
