Wayfinder

Dancenorth Australia | SEASON 2024

Wayfinder

HIGH-INTENSITY | CAPTIVATING | UPBEAT

Wayfinder is a gathering of heart.

Physical exuberance, sonic resonance, and collective exhilaration explode onto stage in a kaleidoscopic fusion of dance, music, and visual art.

Directed by Amber Haines and Kyle Page, Dancenorth Australia joins forces with three-time Grammy nominated Australian band Hiatus Kaiyote and sound artist Byron J. Scullin to create a soaring composition evoking pleasure and possibility.

An undulating sound sculpture condenses and expands this scintillating score, immersing audiences in a new sonic dimension. Japanese-Australian visual artist Hiromi Tango offers her joyful, heart expanding artwork to both the stage design and costumes for this sublime new performance, featuring lighting design by Niklas Pajanti.

Wayfinder reminds us of a state of being that transcends the words that have come to define us, recognising connection as the central axis of the universe.
