Brisbane Festival 2010 - Happy as Larry

Brisbane Festival 2010 in association with Sydney Festival, Perth International Arts Festival and Adelaide Festival presents Happy as Larry.

Happy as Larry is the newest work from much-lauded and awarded choreographer Shaun Parker. Along with long time collaborators Nick Wales and Bree van Reyk, who provide the electro-acoustic score, he delivers a fun, contemporary dance performance that explores the concept and elusiveness of happiness.

Parker's company of talented dancers explore different personality types and how they respond to happiness. Using ballet, hard-hitting contemporary dance, locking and popping and even roller-skating, they express their characters' individual ways of interacting, viewing the world and pursuing happiness.

The set is a huge chalkboard that rapidly spins to divide the vignettes, serving as a canvas on which to be drawn. The chalk lines punctuate the music and dance, creating a playground for the various styles.

Featuring impressive performances, Happy As Larry is a not to be missed production from some of Australia's most compelling contemporary dance talents.

This performance contains nudity. Parents guidance recommended.
