It's a Must & Born to Exist

DanceLive: It’s a Must & Born to Exist

It’s a Must – Clare and Lesley Disable Dance Choreographed by Leeanne Dobbie

Exploring what it’s like when dainty femininity is met with strength. Through their movement vocabulary, Clare and Lesley share their journey as they fight for their place in a society not built for them.

Born to Exist – Joseph Toonga

This Hip Hop Dance Theatre Production forms Toonga’s third part of his Nationally acclaimed, Hip Hop Dance trilogy that invites change, and a sense of overcoming stigmas society holds towards ethnic minorities. Analysing representation with an intersectional focus to show untold, underrepresented, individual journeys. Joseph combines his research with his own experiences and the cast to manifest what is means to be a human and show it in all it’s ugliness, beauty, contradictions and complexity. Joseph’s choreographic style is used as a conduit for trauma, fed through a vacuum of movement and given to audiences.
