Still
Dancenorth Australia
Expand into stillness.
Sense our interrelationship with the earth.
Be here, together, for this fleeting, magnificent moment.
Merge with the morning as the rising sun paints the ocean in warm hues, the sky a subtle tapestry. A breathtaking canvas for this daily symphony of beauty, awe, and wonder.
Still is an immersive sonic journey curated by Dancenorth’s Artistic Director Kyle Page. Housed within a stunning architecturally designed space by Liminal Spaces, you and 21 other guests will collectively witness the dawn of a new day while being cradled by the sounds of Canadian composer Jessica Moss (Thee Silver Mt. Zion, Black Ox Orkestar).
This project was made possible by Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund – an Australian Government Initiative. As well as The Canada Council for the Arts.
Dancenorth Australia is assisted by both the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
