Canberra Theatre will present Leigh Warren and Dancers on Thursday, 11 October 2007, at 8:00 PM and on Friday, 12 October 2007, at 8:00 PM.
Then came a day when the clouds drifting along with the wind aroused a wanderlust in me, and I set off on a journey to roam along the seashores. Basho. After a decade of dialogue between Adelaide director/choreographer Leigh Warren and Japanese director/choreographer Uno Man, the two have finally joined forces to create a cross-cultural dance work enriched by both experience and innovation.
Inspired by haiku poet Basho's classic text The Narrow Road to a Far Province, Wanderlust imbues an ancient journey with modern attitude. The work is a fusion of dance genres and contemporary screen media, drawing upon the cultural traditions of Japan and Australia to forge a new work relevant to today's audiences.
Crystalline and meticulously observed, Wanderlust combines Uno's unique style of expressing pathos and humour with Leigh Warren's poetic imagery and technical virtuosity. Enter a world where performers grace the stage with a brilliance only maturity can bring. -- www.canberratheatre.org.au
