Three young, disabled dancers are directing short new dance works for Restless Dance Theatre.

Now in its third incarnation, Debut 3 will see three outstanding members of the company work as Directors to develop their own individual choreographic styles.

This season of work is united by the theme: ‘The Butterfly Effect’. Each of the dance works demonstrates how small changes in one part of a complex system can have a dramatic effect elsewhere.

Directors Andrew Pandos, Jianna Georgiou and Lorcan Hopper and will collaborate with experienced, professional mentors: Philip Channells, Tim Rodgers and Larissa McGowan.

These new short works are a chance for the three directors, all emerging disabled artists, to explore their own ideas and gain experience whilst having the guidance and direct feedback from their mentors.

Director Lorcan Hopper notes “[Debut 3 has helped me] learn to put myself out there and take risks, and to challenge myself.” Debut 3 is a fantastic opportunity for professional development, marking a significant milestone in these three exciting emerging artist’s careers.

The casts of each work will be made up of dancers from Restless Dance Theatre’s Youth Ensemble and Restless Central community workshop program, all aged between 15-26, and dancers in their first year at Adelaide College of the Arts.

Restless Dance Theatre is Australia’s leading dance company that integrates disabled and non-disabled artists to create dance theatre and dance education programs.

Debut 3 will be presented at the Restless Studio, 234a Sturt St. Adelaide at 7.30pm on Friday 11th November and 3pm & 7.30pm on 12th November 2011. Tickets are $10 and $5 concession.

Restless Dance Theatre presents Take Me There

Where can your memories take you? Where can your imagination take you? And where do you belong?

This new work by the Youth Ensemble celebrates the coming of age of Restless, now 20 years old. Inspired by the dancers’ memories and aspirations of both real and imagined places, Take Me There uses startling video technology and a pumping original score to reveal what happens when we can really go to the places we’ve always dreamed about.

This production is part of the Come Out Festival’s school and family program.
