RISING and Sydney Dance Company present Love Lock and Forever & Ever
Lock into two explosive and mesmerising works from Sydney Dance Company by Melanie Lane and Antony Hamilton.
First Love Lock. Fantastical folk dance of the future from Melanie Lane, the choreographer who led us into the garden of paradise with Arkadia (RISING, 2024).
Then primal instincts pull us towards the club in Antony Hamilton’s Forever & Ever.
Melanie’s work reimagines love songs to revel in the fantasies and collective experiences of diverse cultures. With striking costumes by designer Akira Isogawa and a score by UK electronic artist Clark, it’s a dance that summons a pulsing and transfixing energy. A journey that celebrates the binding ability of dance to move, warn and empower.
Next up, this internationally acclaimed work from Antony Hamilton (Chunky Move) pulses with techno, high fashion, movement and precision. Featuring a thumping score from his brother Julian (aka one half of The Presets), it’s a playground of pop culture, precision, order and chaos.
Humanity glimpsed through dance-floor politics.
