New work by Australian Dance Theatre


Garry Stewart is celebrating his tenth year as the Artistic Director of Australia Dance Theatre.

Garry has spent the past ten years at Australian Dance Theatre developing a reputation as a choreographer who challenges expected representation of dance through his collaborations with leading artists in photography, robotics and video installations. For Be Your Self he has brought together an eclectic team including the highly influential New York architectural firm Diller, Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R).

Be Your Self brings an actor on stage with the dancers for the first time in Garry’s work.

The calibre of the collaborating artists has enabled the company to secure co-producing support from several European venues, including Grand ThÉÂtre de la Ville de Luxembourg, La Rose des Vents Villeneuve d’Ascq (France), Le Rive Gauche Centre Culturel de Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray (France) and Centro Cultural Vila Flor (Portugal).
