QL2 DANCE PRESENTS QUANTUM LEAP IN "IDENTIFY"

3 Aug 2011 – 6 Aug 2011

The Q (Queanbeyan Performing Arts Centre, CANBERRA)

Identify: choreographers Anton (Australian Dance Theatre, Dance North), Jodie Farrugia (Flying Fruit Fly Circus), and Adam Wheeler (Stompin, Chunky Move) with young dancers from QL2’s Quantum leap ensemble in three amazing pieces of contemporary dance, with an original score by bassist Adam Ventoura. Not a concert, but three interlinking short works, looking at how young people identify themselves: where they came from, where they are going. Quantum Leap includes young dancers from Canberra and surrounds, plus visiting dancers from Bangkok Dance Academy, Victorian College for the Arts, and Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

“A show deserving bouquets on many levels.” (Michelle Potter, on Quantum leap’s 2010 work)
