COMPOSITION THEATRE AND DANCE

Tarkovsky's Horse

Peter Fraser

Tarkovsky's Horse is a dance about standing. The vertical stance that makes us human. A stuttering dance, balanced between rising and falling, gravity and grace - flickering like a silent movie. Presented by The Weather Exchange. With video from Samuel James and music by Natasha Anderson.

Performances
Melbourne Dancehouse 15-17 Aug
Sydney Campbelltown Arts Centre 21-22 Aug
Performance Space @ Carriageworks 25 Aug-7 Sept

The Year of Magical Thinking

Joan Didion

Over the course of one brutal year a woman loses her soul-mate suddenly and their only child slowly.
The woman at the centre of this terrible series of events is Joan Didion. One of the great American essayists and novelists of the past 50 years, her writing is marked by a unique combination of the personal and the universal.
Based on her best-selling memoir, The Year Of Magical Thinking captures the compassion, humour and bewilderment of this fiercely intelligent woman whose world lurched suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable.
It is a love letter to a child and a tribute to an extraordinary, unconventional marriage, told with raw candour and a brilliant storyteller's gift for the absurd.
