Tasmania’s very own Tasdance presents Luminous Flux, a double-bill of sensational performance with two of Australia’s shining examples of contemporary dance; Tanja Liedtke’s Enter Twilight and the world premiere season of Byron Perry’s Light Entertainment.
Choreographed for the company in 2004, Liedtke’s work, examines the balance between opposites; light and dark, virtuous and evil. An extraordinary talent whose life was tragically cut-short, Liedtke was destined to follow in the footsteps of Tasdance Patron, Graeme Murphy AO, as the next Artistic Director of Sydney Dance Company. Inclusion of Liedtke’s work in our 2013 program honours her ongoing positive influence on dance in Australia.
Taking an alternative interpretation, award-winning choreographer Perry explores other connotations of ‘light’, flipping between dry and scientific, magic and mystical, and frivolous, playful and entertaining. Playing with the theatricality and multiplicity of meanings, Perry’s work illuminates the astonishing physicality and talents of the Tasdance ensemble.
