Sydney Dance Company announces new season

Sydney Dance Company's 2013 season showcases fresh new talent and old favourites.

Sydney Dance Company will jet off around the nation in 2013 to showcase a premiere seasons of work in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Alice Springs and Darwin.

A highlight of the program is De Novo, named from the Latin term for ‘of the new’, which promises to be one of the most exciting dance offerings on the national calendar.

This mixed bill performance includes the Australian premiere of Cacti, a joyful, intelligent and irreverent work by one of Europe’s most highly sought after young choreographers, Alexander Ekman; in addition to the world premiere of Emergence, a new work by Sydney Dance Company Artistic Director, Rafael Bonachela, in which he joins forces with composer Nick Wales, internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko, and fashion designer Dion Lee.

De Novo opens at Sydney Theatre on March 1, 2013, and Melbourne Arts Centre on November 20. Stay tuned to LOTL for artist and choreographer interviews in the coming months,
