Contemporary dance in progress: Jamie Winbank’s “Hide & Seek“ at QL2 Centre for Youth Dance

Work in progress - this is Day 2 in working on a piece by Jamie Winbank for QL2 Centre for Youth Dance’s “On Course“ short works season. Working title is “Hide and Seek“. ’The piece explores the hidden secrets behind finding the search for meaning, particularly in dance. It relates to the honesty behind society, from innocent secrets, chinese whispers to world wide calamities (in effect). ’ The dancers are Pia, Emily, Rene, Amanda, Paul, Ella and Gabi. Music from Conjure One, ’Pilgrimage.’ Its very early days - come and see the final piece: Seven young choreographers from tertiary dance courses around Australia will come to Canberra over two weeks from Monday to create “On Course“ - an evening of new short dance works. Several are originally from Canberra, having got their grounding in dance with QL2 Centre for Youth Dance’s “Quantum Leap“ ensemble. Jamie Winbank, Emily Chapman, Caitlin McKenzie, Gemma Dawkin
