Hofesh In The Yard

A Perth Festival Commission Presented in association with Hofesh Shechter Company The State Theatre Centre of WA Courtyard is transformed into a spectacle of super charged high-octane dance with the global master of rock ‘n’ roll performance.

Recognised as one of the most exciting artists working in contemporary dance today, Hofesh Shechter is renowned for creating his own genre. Part dance, part gig, part theatre and wholly original, his work has its own unique and instantly identifiable voice. Spectacularly bold and ambitious, his creations are at once comic, bleak and beautiful, evoking a world at odds with itself, full of anarchic energy and violent comedy.

Join Perth’s own STRUT Dance for a Hofesh Schechter double bill to have you buzzing, performed outside and in the round by 12 independent artists from across the Asia-Pacific region. In the explosive mega hit Uprising, seven men emerge from the shadows to bombard the stage with furious energy, bonding and sparring, making up and falling out.

tHE bAD is a volatile explosion of dubstep grooves that is joyous and trance-like. Drink in hand, you can wander through the venue and take in the action from multiple viewing-points on ground level and galleries.
