Cygnus

Cygnus is named after the constellation denoting the swan. Under this name the 7 Chamaeleon dancers will work with Artistic Director Liz Lea and Education Director Susan Innis to each develop a dance and science show about 7 different birds. Each dancer will choose which bird they would like to research and share information and create a dance about. This will be filmed as well as developed for live performances which can be presented in schools, retirement homes, libraries, and hospitals. The birds might include;

​

• Swans

• Cockatoos

• Rosellas

• Magpie

• Flamingo

• Robin

• Kookaburra 

​

Cygnus is aimed at identifying professional development pathways for the dancers – through dance, theatre and commercial work. Each work will require the dancers to assist in developing material, information, choreography, teaching and dancing.

​

The shows will each have Auslan Interpretation, Audio Description and Captioning.
