Conform
Conform was commissioned by Sydney Dance Company for their annual New Breed Season in 2015. In collaboration with the cast of eight male company dancers, the Conform looks at social and physical pressures put on men today.
“Conform is beautifully structured, vibrates with repressed emotion and has a very strong, pulsating and often ominous score by James Brown. This one is a keeper. ”
“Conform is one of the most powerful dance works of the year, lingering in the mind long after the performance has ended.”
