Overview
Physical exuberance, sonic resonance, and collective exhilaration explode onto the stage in a kaleidoscopic fusion of dance, music, and visual art.
Directed by Amber Haines and Kyle Page, Dancenorth Australia joins forces with three-time Grammy-nominated Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote and sound artist Byron J. Scullin to create a soaring composition evoking pleasure and possibility. An undulating sound sculpture condenses and expands this scintillating score, immersing audiences in a new sonic dimension. Japanese-Australian visual artist Hiromi Tango offers her joyful, heart-expanding artwork to both the stage design and costumes for this sublime new performance, featuring lighting design by Niklas Pajanti.
Speaking to your sensorial nature, Wayfinder reminds you of a state of being that transcends the words that have come to define you. Navigating bigger and more ancient reference points, Wayfinder recognises connection as the central axis of the universe.
