Dean Walsh, an award-winning dance and contemporary performance practitioner, returns to Adelaide in January 2015 for a residency with Matt Shilcock.
Over the last 3 years Dean has been invited to present at various environmental seminars and symposiums and recently secured a 30 minute presentation (physical and spoken) for World Parks Congress. WPC is commissioned by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) major 7 day once-a-decade global event attended by key delegates from more than 170 member countries and Sydney Olympic Park was host venue in 2014.
Dean’s marine research has been developed in dialogue with scientists, conservation communities, divers and dancers—and exchange of this type has been an essential part of his developing work. Dean will lead participants through composition and structured improvisation exercises drawn from PrimeOrderly.
PrimeOrderly brings together two decades of experience in choreographic practice with more recent research into human interactions with marine environments and the biodiversity within. This research was developed during a two year Dance Fellowship from the Australia Council for the Arts and has ongoing support from various institutions and research centres.

The Adelaide Fringe in his new show : END OF DARK DAYS TREV
Of coarse George denies everything!
Its just a thing that he and the RAA are going through. A little time apart. Nothing to worry about. George is hoping that the two will reunite before the Tennis starts up again in Summer. Maybe they can try some counselling?
What am I saying? Yeah sure! Its over! Just like any break up, the RAA first got rid of Trevor, the best friend and now George!
“Its not youi its me!” said the RAA.
“We love your ads, but we’re not in love with them, anymore!”
“A relationship is like a broken mirror, sometimes its just better to leave it broken before we go broke!”
“We will always respect, honour and appreciate your work!” (SEND).
Our advice to George is that he go straight to Aami, iSELECT, Progressive and get a gig with them! He could even be the next Meerkat! “Simples!”
Or book a holiday to Bali and strike up an intimate bromance with Ketut! Stuff Rhonda! Its Rhonda’s fault this has happened to poor ole George…. “Like a Sunrise?” How bloody popular!
Is there life after RAA for George? Yes there is! Plenty more fish in the sea! Plenty of Rhinos too, because this year George will be starring in his world exclusively new show “END OF DARK DAYS TREV!” at the Rhino Room, 10th-19th Feb 2014, 7pm shows, tickets $30, 13 Frome Street Adelaide, 82271611.

All levels welcome. A second-generation San Francisco street performer, Aaron’s first movement training was Chinese Acrobatics, which he studied with world renown teacher, Master Lu Yi. After appearing in the circus world as a juggler and acrobat, Aaron fell in love with contact improvisation and went on to perform with original CI luminary Nita Little, as well as the award-winning Scott Wells & Dancers. Aaron has taught CI in the US, Europe, South America and Australia. His classes are heavily influenced by his eclectic background as an acrobat, actor, bodyworker, street performer, Capoerista, naturalist and river guide.

Sydney Dance Company presents: Frame of Mind
Dates: 6 March 2015 - 6 May 2015
Location:
Sydney Dance Company launches into 2015 with a powerful double bill – a showcase of deeply personal pieces from two acclaimedchoreographic talents: living legend William Forsythe and Sydney Dance Company’s own Artistic Director, Rafael Bonachela.
One of the most renownedcontemporary dance works of the 20th Century, Forsythe’s Quintett was created in 1993 in collaboration with Ballet Frankfurt dancers Dana Caspersen, Stephen Galloway, Jacopo Godani, Thomas McManus and Jone San Martin.
A tour de force for five dancers, Quintettis a deeply personal work, closely guarded, andrarely performed outside of Forsythe’s direct supervision.
Set on a stage filled with bright white light, the piece is a seamless flow of duets, solos and trios set to Gavin Bryar’s Jesus’s Blood Never Failed Me Yet, the movement brilliantly evoking Bryar’s themes of loneliness and the illusion of hope.
Acknowledged as Forsythe’s most poignant masterpiece,Quintett sheds light on a side of Forsythe that audiences don’t often get to experience: delicate, tender, sublime, lyrical, heart-wrenching,the piece is a moving tribute and glorious celebration of movement, light and life.
Sydney Dance Company are thrilled to have been invited to present the Australian premiere of this incredible production in 2015, as part of our premiere season, Frame of Mind, alongside a new work by Rafael Bonachela, set to a suite of powerful music by American composer Bryce Dessner – best known as a member of Grammy Award-nominated band The National, performed by internationally renowned TheKronos Quartet.
Inspired by his own recent personal experiences, Bonachela’s piece is an exploration of the ephemeral nature of living. What has appeared robust and dependable revealsitself as fragile and transient, when a single event or occurrence makes everything shift, quickly and forever.
The work sees Bonachela collaborate for the first time with esteemed Australian set designer,outgoing Belvoir artistic director, Ralph Myers, and will feature lighting by frequent Sydney Dance Company associate Benjamin Cisterne.
Frame of Mind opens at Sydney Theatre on March 6, ahead of seasons at Canberra Theatre Centre, opening April 30, and Southbank Theatre, Melbourne, opening May 6.
