Intimate Space

Adelaide Festival Show

We are excited that Restless is premiering Intimate Space as part of Rachel Healy and Neil Armfield ‘s fabulous Adelaide Festival program for 2017.
 
Hotels are intriguing spaces where private stories and intimate exchanges occur all within the public realm. Michelle has frequently been touched by the tenderness and surprised by the intensity of people’s connections while sitting in the hotel bar or lobby next to her home:


”I see other people watching these private moments too, bringing their own stories to each situation they witness. Sometimes seeing themselves in what they see. So, I’m a voyeur. I can’t help but look at people and I’m aware that people look at me too – because I’m different to them. Perhaps they are trying to find a way to see themselves in something or someone unfamiliar to them?”
 
It is fabulous to have such a wonderful partnership with the Hilton Adelaide and we send a huge thank you to their staff and management.
 
Direction by Michelle Ryan and assisted by Josephine Were, Production Management and Lighting Design by Geoff Cobham, Costumes by Meg Wilson and Music Composed  by Jason Sweeney.

Zizanie

Meryl Tankard Creative Development

For the past two weeks Meryl Tankard  and Regis Lansac have been working in the Restless Studio with six dancers on the first Creative Development of a brand new work called Zizanie. The opportunity to work with a choreographer of Meryl Tankard’s ability and experience is a rare and valuable professional development for all the dancers. Meryl is challenging and extending the dancers and they are rising to the challenges. This new work will have a second Creative Development in 2017 and will premiere in 2019.

Debt 5 success

Brilliant Audience Feedback

For Debut 5 the new Studio at Restless was converted into a small theatre and allowed us to present the work with high quality production values. The work of the 5 emerging choreographers, James Bull, Josh Campton, Chris Dyke, Jianna Georgiou and Rachel High and the fabulous performances by the dancers delighted the audiences and they gave us some great feedback:

Wonderful, eclectic, fun, thoughtful – Thank you

One of the most joyous hours of my life.

Thanks once again to all the generous donors who made Debut 5 possible through the Creative Partnerships Australia Plus1 matched funding program. Thanks also to Arts South Australia’s Richard Llewellyn Art and Disability Program.
