Happy as Larry - Shaun Parker & Company |
SYDNEY FESTIVAL
Wednesday 27 January - Saturday 30 January
Seymour Centre, Chippendale NSW Nine remarkable performers with nine very distinctive personalities explore the elusive nature of human happiness in Shaun Parker’s latest dance theatre work, accompanied by a vibrant electro-acoustic score from Nick Wales and Bree van Reyk. The cast of characters is developed from the Enneagram, a psychological system that maps nine personality types: the Perfectionist, the Seducer, the Performer, the Tragic Romantic, the Observer, the Devil’s Advocate, the Optimist, the Boss and the Mediator – all rich inspiration for Parker’s insightful creativity.
Parker’s choreography is driven more by human feelings and psychological idiosyncrasies than pure physicality. His work was last seen at Sydney Festival with his award-winning This Show is About People (2008). Read more... |
