A day in the life ... new dancework for Sprung!!

Sprung!! (in its third year in the Northern Rivers area) is a unique dance theatre ensemble already making a name for itself in the national scene following performances at the 2012 National Accessible Arts conference and the 2014 Australian Youth Dance Festival in South Australia. It is an exciting blend of dancers, artists and performers with diverse backgrounds, strengths, and vulnerabilities, who create deeply felt works that engage audiences and communities.

A day in the life… is a ground-breaking new work developed under the leadership of Sprung!!’s new Artistic Director, Michael Hennessy, who spent nine years with the famous Sydney Dance Company. Sprung!!’s Senior Associate Artists in Residence; Peter Notley and Alison Toft, along with Junior Associate Artist Tara Coughlan, joined Hennessy to collaborate with the ensemble of a dozen dancers with and without disability to develop this exciting project, which explores the everyday lives of the dancers and performers; the highs, the lows, the joys, the sorrows, the hopes and dreams they sometimes encounter.

Music by local composer Fred Cole and film overlays by Film Maker John Rado complete A day in the life… allowing the audience a brief interaction which will touch everyone to their core!
