SCORE!
Expressions Dance Company 2005

Choreographer: Maggi Seitsma
Set & Costume Designer: Tanja Beer
Lighting Designer: Nick Tomlin

Performed at the Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Arts
Brisbane, Australia.

INFO:
Score! is inspired by Michel Fokine’s ballet Petrushka and reality TV shows. In this adaptation, the puppeteer in Petrushka is transformed into a TV host, and his “dancing puppets” become the contestants in a reality TV competition. The set takes on the form of a T.V. studio with a curved wall that supports the multi-media aspects of the play. Both projection and shadow effects are used to create the glitzy T.V. world, as well as the more subtle behind the scenes moments.

PRESS:

“What let Score! make its points above a skit, however, were its wily choreography and crafty design - with brash video projections and on-target lighting by Nick Tomlin, and a studio set by Tanja Beer where battles and intimacies lay bare in lab-like steeliness.” Sun-sentinel Miami USA
