APAM SEARCHLIGHT
Restless Dance Theatre is one of only four Australian dance companies to be selected to present a work in development. Beauty directed by Ingrid Voorendt, is the second work by the new Touring Company designed specifically to tour nationally and internationally.
In response to classic images of women from visual art, taking a detailed and sculptural approach to the body, the director will use different dance vocabulary with dancers to create images that are stunning yet strange. The idea of being overcome by ‘unbearable’ beauty, and the despair, distance, terror and jealousy that beauty can evoke will layer more depth to the development of this exciting new Australian work.
