A Night’s Game
 

FORM Dance Projects and Riverside Theatres present the Australian-premiere of the emotionally charged duet, A Night’s Game, from UK dance company Alleyne Dance from 5th to 7th September.

In a dynamic yet lyrical performance inspired by true-life events, twin sisters Kristina and Sadé Alleyne explore the turmoil and strife of human emotion when faced with the prospect of incarceration.

This dark, atmospheric work that is as thrilling as it is powerful features the Alleyne sisters’ unique contemporary choreography which is infused with influences of Afro-Caribbean, hip hop, Latin, and Indian classical dance.

Co-artistic directors of Alleyne Dance, Kristina and Sadé are former athletes turned professional dancers, and have performed and taught across the UK and internationally. They performed at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics in a piece choreographed by renowned English choreographer Akram Khan.

A Night’s Game will be performed in Australia for one season only at Riverside Theatres.

    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
