New music accentuates unique and inspiring dance in Co3’s the cry

In her first full length work for Co3 Contemporary Dance, founding Artistic Director, Raewyn Hill, presents the cry, a work that exemplifies her signature choreographic style and is accompanied by a new score, performed live by composer and musician Eden Mulholland.

 

Presented as part of the MoveMe Festival, the cry is a work that highlights the richness of human existence. The premiere season at Heath Ledger Theatre at the State Theatre Centre of Western Australia, features six of the Co3 company members Kathryn Gurr, Mitch Harvey, Zachary Lopez, Talitha Maslin, Andrew Searle and Russell Thorpe.

 

Follow the characters as their energies and relationships ebb and flow throughout the cry, with sensitive duets siting alongside the uncompromising power of the group. Eden’s absorbing rhythms and captivating voice guide the viewer through the authenticity and humanity of Raewyn’s work. Expect the unexpected and be swept away and inspired.

 

Internationally commissioned, Raewyn is renowned for creating intricate and powerful dance, which is underpinned by an emotional intensity and in-depth research. Beyond the physical, there is also a philosophical language for delivery of movement that is exchanged between Raewyn and her dancers. Most recently, Raewyn’s choreography is influenced by time in Japan in 2016, with an incorporation of the seven principles of Bushido: rectitude, courage, benevolence, politeness, honesty, honour, and loyalty.

 

The cry includes the added element of live music for the premiere season and Co3 welcomes Raewyn’s long-time collaborator, Eden Mulholland to Perth to create a new score for the work. Eden has recently returned from a number of international gigs, including working on a new album in Los Angeles and composing for a solo dance performance in New Zealand.
