A kaleidoscopic fusion of dance, music and visual art will explode onto The Art House Wyong\u2019s stage in Wayfinder<\/em>, the new work from Dancenorth Australia that will activate the senses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Amber Haines and Kyle Page, Wayfinder<\/em> is an immersive and joyfully upbeat experience. Visually stunning and sonically mesmerizing, this high-intensity contemporary work incorporates a custom inflatable stage to empower dancers to perform incredible mid-air feats. More than 60KMs of salvaged wool will also be incorporated into the performance. Vividly dyed and weaved into dynamic textile installations by over 150 volunteer finger-knitters, these flowing, ethereal pieces inspire rainbow-tinged wonder as they flex from towering monuments to individual threads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production also utilises more than 100 luminous \u2018pearls\u2019 designed in collaboration with Japanese-Australian visual artist Hiromi Tango. These sound and light emitting balls will be distributed throughout the theatre, with each containing a speaker that acts as a cipher for an individual voice. When activated together, they create their own immersive sonic and lighting installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grammy nominated Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote and sound artist Byron J. Scullin have also been enlisted to create Wayfinder\u2019s<\/em> distinct soundscape, creating a soaring composition that perfectly expresses the overarching themes of joy, discovery, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakout hit of Brisbane Festival 2023, Wayfinder<\/em> is a sensory feast of movement and ideas. Playfully complex, this daring new contemporary dance work is coming to The Art House Wyong for one night only on October 11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
