Love the new look! - But I'm confused about where 'to go'. So, please excuse me for putting this here as well as in the Classifieds.

Strange Arrangements' new show: CADENCE opens on Wednesday at The Blue Room. We'd love to see you there.

Here's our press release.

Must dash.

Jo Merrey

In 1998, after beginning life in Melbourne, Strange Arrangements made Perth home. With their return they brought with them the wonderful productions of TRANSISTOR: WAVING AT MARCONI and OPTICAL WRECKAGE. In 1999, having been invited to perform VERTICAL HOLD for Dancers are Space Eaters at PICA, Strange Arrangements is proud to present CADENCE, a new collaborative piece which merges traditional narrative with physical theatre.

On the dance floor Marcy and Laurence are perfect. They move in harmony. …

Or, at least they seem to.

As Marcy struggles to keep pace with her partner she realises that she is trapped. Often, she finds herself dancing backwards - rushing to a goal she can not see. It seems there is no way out of the set moves.

Set in the confines of a competitive arena and rehearsal room, CADENCE revolves around the disintegration of a dancing partnership. As Marcy takes the lead, the dance becomes a prelude to death: the ultimate break-up.

THANK GOD FOR FALSE EYELEASHES, SEQUINS AND STILETTOS!
