A double bill of Sydney’s top female led street dance groups featuring Kinetic Illusions by Oh Sheila and INTERFLOW by Destructive Steps Dance Association.
Kinetic Illusions
Inner-West Sydney’s all female power-house street dance crew Oh Sheila transforms the theatre into a complex and multifaceted world, challenging the audience’s understanding of our perceived reality. Inspired by their Asian heritage, the dancers experiment with the playful manipulation of history, time and space and the effects that this has on physical movement and the physical world around us.
Previously developed and presented through Flying Nun at Brand X Sydney and Dancehouse Melbourne.
INTERFLOW
Expanding their work to the performance space, Destructive Steps Dance Association’s INTERFLOW follows the journey of four street dancers of diverse Asian backgrounds as they explore and contemplate the flows within their freestyle-based dance. In play with storytelling, theatrical lighting and a range of music genres, they deconstruct and reconstruct their Hip Hop, Popping and Locking bases alongside the establishing and evolving style of Waving as they seek to find their place between past, present and future.
Rounding out the festival is Keep Stepping, a special screening of Sydney-based filmmaker Luke Cornish’s award-winning documentary on the industry of competitive street dance. Winner of Sydney Film Festival’s 2022 Documentary Award, Keep Stepping follows the parallel stories of Gabi and Patricia - two remarkably different female dancers - as they train for the biggest street dance competition in Australia: Destructive Steps.
