Stop! Don't Blink

Recommended Ages: 8 - 14


There was once the roar of kids playing footy, the squeals of a chasey match,
and grass stained kneecaps
Then it all started to change
The whirr of machinery, the clamour of metal and the laying of bricks
Everyday something new was built, something else taken away
Making more and more noise, without anyone appearing to notice
Until, there was no more space to move
Be careful in a single blink it might all change

Stop! Dont Blink integrates contemporary dance, striking lighting design and art installation by renowned Perth visual artist, Stormie Mills. The work tells the story of an ever-changing urban landscape, focusing on the environment, responsibility and the emotional effect changes in the urban landscape have on young people. This will be a visually stimulating work where landscapes are built, altered and destroyed on stage. The original music score will be urban and industrial providing a sound-scape that encapsulates the ever-changing environment.

Children will have the opportunity to explore the set, and participate in an hour-long workshop. The dance workshop will ask children to think creatively about their environment and surroundings, using themes from the show. Students will investigate movement through games and creative discovery to alter the way they see their landscape.
