Melanie Lane's Dream Swamp

Dreaming beyond the limits of our bodies, young audiences are transported into an absurd and uncanny universe of magic, adventure and transformation. The journey begins in an immersive swamp-like world, murky and unpredictable – like a bizarre dream. In a collision of sound, colour, texture and movement, two dancers shape-shift, cast spells, time travel and defy gravity, transporting young people to a place where they can imagine their own bodies as a site of fantasy. 

Melanie Lane's Dream Swamp will be performed in The Show Room in Week 2 of the DanceX program.
