Calendar
19-22 March, Playhouse Theatre - PHOENIX…plunge into the unknown!
STEPS 21st birthday production Phoenix, is an apocalyptic new work that will take you to the edge… and push you over. Are you coming?
Picture yourself standing on the edge… the edge of something new, of change, of the unknown… All that came before has led you to this moment, which holds in its grasp the opportunity for revelation, growth and revolution… This is your chance to let go and plunge deep into the unknown, on the promise of hope, of faith, of instinct… Do you dare?
Phoenix imagines the end of the world. The streets are dense with people maddened by the inevitability of the end; all that they have and all that they know, is threatened. In the midst of the chaos, one young man stands still, poised right on the edge of the world. He looks at the madness around him, then to the blackness of the unknown. He steps forward, and begins to fall…
A handful of survivors have made it through, with a single chest of memoirs from what is now the past. What have they chosen to keep? What did they leave behind? How will this shape their new world?
STEPS held auditions in November that attracted more than 140 young dancers over 2 days - making the standard of dancers and the selection process tougher than ever! Artistic Director, Alice Lee Holland & Choreographer Danielle Micich put the dancers through some energetic and complicated paces in order to find their 30 dancers for 2010 season of Phoenix.
