Double Beat

FORM Dance Projects and Riverside Theatres present Double Beat, choreographed by the Helpmann Award-winning Sara Black.

The Dance Bite season features a stellar all-female cast and creatives: dancers Sophia Ndaba, Isabel Estrella and Samantha Hines, sound designer Alyx Dennison, lighting designer Veronique Bennett and costume designer Aleisa Jelbart.

Written for three women, Double Beat is about the heart and the spirited force of life, it is relentless. Each dancer journeys through one human life, responding to the driving rhythms of their changing internal systems, the rhythms found in nature and the world around them.

"The concept of the work came to me when I had my first ultrasound of my first baby." says Sara Black "He was only five weeks old and all we could see was this tiny flicker of a heart. There he was a pulse, a rhythm. Before he developed his mind he had a heart and he would live by this changing rhythm for the rest of his life."
