Where The Heart Is

where the heart is
by Natalie Weir with music by John Rodgers

Take a step into the past as a young man returns to his childhood home and rediscovers the memories he has long forgotten.
 
Fresh from winning two Helpmann Awards in 2011 for where the heart is (Best Ballet or Dance Work and Best Choreography in a Dance or Physical Theatre Production), Expressions Dance Company brings its signature production back to QPAC by popular demand.
 
Featuring lyrics inspired by David Malouf's 12 Edmondstone Street, this heart-warming story unfolds with the six EDC dancers and three live musicians portraying different family members and the complexities of any family unit -- through such moments as trial, happiness, grief, love, sharing, loss.
 
Set against the iconic remnants of an old Queenslander, this evocative piece of dance theatre is highly regarded for its strong story telling, exquisite choreography, stunning stage design, emotionally resonant live music and dynamic, physical dance.
 
'an engaging and powerful contemporary dance work that confidently bonds the ties between theatre and dance.' Australian Stage
