Sydney Pageant presents
KAIROS
Meryl Tankard
FORM Dance Initiatives I World Premiere
In historical Greek, Kairos is “the proper or opportune second for doing, a second that can’t be scheduled.” That second is now for director Meryl Tankard AO, composer Elena Kats-Chernin AO and visible artist Regis Lansac OAM, who’ve created a vibrant new dance work responding to those unsure and difficult occasions.
Commissioned and produced by FORM Dance Initiatives and created by three world-renowned Australian artists and very long time collaborators, with the following era of dance makers, this Sydney Pageant world premiere will embody an unlimited lexicon of human expertise and human motion: the darkish and difficult; the ugly and delightful; the humorous and joyful.
“Tankard’s present for digging deeper into primary instincts… uncooked physicality colors the choreographer.“
(The New York Instances)
