Love Lock
Inspired by the power of love stories, Melanie Lane’s bold new work Love Lock deconstructs love songs to create a folk dance that celebrates the fantasies and realities of love.
With striking costumes by the iconic designer Akira Isogawa and a score by UK electronic artist Clark, don’t miss the world premiere of this rare and ambitious work.
Melanie Lane’s Love Lock is generously supported by Sydney Dance Company’s Visionary Patron Brett Clegg and the Clegg Foundation.
Impermanence
“arguably the single best piece created by and for an Australian dance company for many years” – Adelaide Advertiser
A visceral and thrilling exploration of the juxtaposition of beauty and devastation, Rafael Bonachela’s critically acclaimed Impermanence returns to Sydney after touring to Europe and the USA.
Impermanence features an evocative score by Grammy Award-winning Bryce Dessner performed live onstage with the Australian String Quartet or the Partridge String Quartet. This is epic, driven performance that packs an emotional punch.
Make an evening of Twofold with our new pop-up bar and restaurant, located just across the road from the theatre at Sydney Dance Company’s iconic foyer overlooking the water.
